Report of the Executive Director, Children and Families

 

Implementation Date (not before meeting on)
Tue 28 Apr 2026
Purpose
Following a Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) at Grendon Primary School it was highlighted that urgent electrical upgrade works are required to the emergency lighting to ensure the building is compliant. The electrical system is outdated, obsolete and beyond maintenance and repair due to scarcity of parts.

The building is also suffering from significant leaks that have begun to affect the internal fabric. A project is required to address both roofing and electrical upgrades simultaneously, this will ensure that the electrical works are not impacted by the leaks as it will allow for works to be carried out in phases to address both health and safety issues. The essential works are required to prevent deterioration of services and address a risk to the health and safety of the occupants.
