Why do we need to change
• Local Authority approached Histon and Impington Infant and Histon and Impington Junior schools to discuss possibilities of pupil numbers increasing at some point in the future.
Possiblities:• HIIS site - Lack of capacity at Infant School to expand buildings and not enough outside
space for children• Conversion of Infant school site was considered but this would only be a short term
solution and not enough outside space• HIJS site considered and outcome of studies was to have two double mobiles
Spring 2015• Increase in Reception pupil numbers confirmed• September 2015 – 25 additional children in Reception
classes
Rationale behind the plans
Quality education in each classroom is paramount
Space for Year 1 children and Reception classes at Infant School
Junior School site is much larger so can cope with more children
To convert the Infant School this year will be a one year fix as numbers of children are set to increase
Offer of additional provision and new
resources from September 2015
Finance given to support the change

Timescale
We acknowledge it has been shorter than some people would have liked.
We would like to thank you for your questions, comments and ideas.
Cambridge Primary Education Trust have considered all views.
We must all remember the children's education is the key driver.
Consultations • Being positive with our children will ensure the smooth transition
• Working Group for parents,
staff and governors
• The children will have visits. We will discuss and listen to their ideas
• As plans progress we will inform you
For coming this evening.
