That the Universal Free School Capital Allocation of £386,780 for Local Authority Maintained schools in the Borough be noted.
That the proposal to develop and deliver a targeted programme of capital investment to target insufficiencies in infrastructure and the capacity of school kitchens and serveries of Local Authority Maintained schools in Bromley be agreed.
On 17th September 2013, the Government announced that every child in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 in state funded school would receive a free school meal from September 2014, for which revenue funding would be made available.
The Local Authority has responsibility, in partnership with Local Authority Maintained schools to ensure schools are able to deliver this new requirement. To support this, the Local Authority has been allocated £386,780 capital funding for 2014/15 for Local Authority Maintained schools and £30,824 for Voluntary Aided schools.
