Recommendations
  • 30 Where excess space is generated by falling
    rolls, provision of extended schools, community
    and/or early years and childcare facilities
    should be given priority consideration.
  • 31 Multi-agency provision should be provided,
    wherever possible, on school sites.
  • 32 Capital receipts generated from redundant
    school sites should be re-invested into other
    education or community facilities locally.
