QUESTION TO BE ASKED OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE EDUCATION, SPORT AND CULTURE COMMITTEE ON TUESDAY 25th MAY 2004,

BY DEPUTY G.C.L. BAUDAINS OF ST. CLEMENT

Question

Will the President advise members of the current spare capacity at Le Squez, St. Clement's Primary and Le Rocquier schools together with the forecast spare capacity in five years' time?

Answer

As indicated by the January 2004 school census -

( a ) St. Clement currently has nine pupils more than its planned capacity of 175;

( b ) Le Squez, due mainly to demographic movement and the current redevelopment of Le Squez Estate, has

an excess capacity of 111 pupils; and,

( c ) Le Rocquier has 14 pupils more than its planned capacity of 750. Our forecast for 2009 indicates that -

( a ) St. Clement will have spare capacity of 6 places;

(b ) Le Squez will have spare capacity of 134 places. This should be sufficient to accommodate the

redeveloped Le Squez Estate and the housing developments currently planned for the surrounding area; and,

( c ) new Le Rocquier School, designed to provide for 850 pupils, will have spare capacity of 124 places in

2009. This should be sufficient to accommodate the redeveloped Le Squez Estate and the housing developments currently planned for the surrounding area.
