Decision details

The Friends of Saltwood School

Decision Maker: Ward Member for Hythe (3)

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

School Dinning Hall Benches & Additional laptops - Our current benches for school dinners are no longer fit for purpose, we need to upgrade them, we also have a need for additional laptops to support children.

 

Decision:

To provide funding of £425 to the above project.

 

 

Reason for decision:

Given the current importance of school providing meals for hot students and

ensuring social distancing (due to COVID) is maintained, our current school dinner

seating is very outdated, unpleasant and urgently needs replaced. The new benches

were seeking to source, would also have the bonus that it would give us more room in the dinner hall to maintain social distancing and would stack away neatly when not in use, freeing up the dinner hall for P.E. sessions. We currently have no spare funds

within the school to provide these benches for the children, the community fund

would be hugely beneficial for all at the school. Additional laptops: This would

support the poor member of our school community would do not have access to a

computer at home, It would also benefit children with underlying medical needs when

they are not able to attend school due to COVID risks.
