Headteacher and Chair of Governors of all schools

potentially within the Norfolk Schools PFI project

Dear Colleague

PFI Open meetings

The next PFI meetings open to all school staff and governors are as follows (both 6.00 pm start; refreshments available from 5.50 pm):

Tuesday, 4 February, Drama Room, Neatherd High School, Dereham

Wednesday 5 February, Burrage Centre (back of James Paget Hospital), Gorleston

The meetings will give a general update on the progress of the project and give the normal opportunity for questions. Specific items for discussion will include the evaluation of Bidders’ proposals and the method used to distribute the total PFI cost between schools. Draft proposals for the latter will have been circulated to schools in advance of these meetings.

Representatives from your school may attend either meeting. Please let Shirley or Sharon know who is intending to come:

phone – 01603 222788; fax – 01603 222483

e-mail – shirley.kenward.edu@norfolk.gov.uk or sharon.stone.edu@norfolk.gov.uk

post – Norfolk Education, County Hall, Martineau Lane, Norwich NR1 2DL

I look forward to seeing you at one of the meetings.

Yours sincerely

Matthew Rathbone

Education PFI Project Manager
