Representation Summary:

No proper short-medium term plan is in place for quality secondary education without expecting the existing secondary school to grow beyond all reason.

e. Work with Hertfordshire County Council and education providers to ensure the planning system contributes to the provision of sufficient school places and facilitates the provision of new or expanded schools in appropriate and accessible locations.
Then the plan states: Ahead of, or alongside this, some expansion of Knights Templar School may be possible. Equally, it may be necessary to include some secondary provision to the south of the town in the short- to medium-term until the long-term arrangements are finalised and put in place. There is only one, already full, secondary school in the town that CANNOT be used as a stop gap to accommodate any percentage of the high number of people moving to the town whilst proper provision for secondary education is put in place in the long term.
