The Capital Strategy has the following objectives:
· To comply with the Council’s statutory duty to provide sufficient school places
· Make recommendations following discussions with Headteachers, Governors and Trustees for the best use of the Education estate
· Consider in consultation with Headteachers, Governors and Trustees whether any potentially surplus mainstream accommodation could be used for SEND use

Alternative options will come forward as part of consideration of each proposed project and these will be evaluated and reported on as part of the capital bidding process to bring projects onto the capital programme in each year.
