Cliffdale Primary Academy and Mary Rose Academy - special school places Proposal that Approved Education Capital Expenditure be re-allcoated to fund urgent works at Cliffdale Primary and Mary Rose Academies in order to increase capacity in special school places On 21 March 2012 the Cabinet Member for Children and Education approved the allocation of £1,000,000 to improve SEN provision in secondary mainstream settings. Of this, £283,000 was allocated to fund an Autistic Spectrum Condition resource provision at The City of Portsmouth Boys' School. Feasibility work was undertaken on this project at a cost of £17,000. However, the project was put on hold due to the uncertainty over the co-educational status of the school. There is, therefore, currently £266,000 of uncommitted funding on this scheme. On 4 April 2006 the Cabinet Member for Children and Education approved the allocation of £1,800,000 to construct a new sports hall at the Harbour School at Tipner. The project was successfully completed leaving and an underspend of £20,000. On 14 February 2014 the Cabinet Member for Children and Education approved the allocation of £24,900 to replace the existing Electrical Distribution Boards at Court Lane Junior School. This work has been completed leaving a balance of £16,000 available. Due to an unprecedented number of children requiring a place at a special school from September 2014, additional capacity is urgently required at both Cliffdale Primary Academy and Mary Rose Academy. It is proposed to install a double temporary classroom unit at Cliffdale Primary Academy at a cost of £210,000. Works are also required at The Craneswater

Building Naming in Edinburgh Road on the former site of The Portsmouth Foyer First Wessex are redeveloping what was "The Portsmouth Foyer" into 29 affordable housing dwellings (Flats) and has applied for street naming and numbering to rename the former Foyer building. The proposed redevelopment name is Aggie Weston House. The previous Portsmouth Foyer service has already been relocated into new purpose built building in Greetham Street, Southsea and retains the name, Portsmouth Foyer. The history behind Agnes Weston is as follows. Dame Agnes Weston (1840 – 1918) was popularly known as Aggie Weston and she devoted her life to improving the life of Royal Naval sailors by setting up the Royal Naval Temperance Society and Sailors Rest Homes in Portsmouth and Devonport. The building at 22 Edinburgh Road started life as the Duchess of Albany Sailors and Soldiers Homes in 1908, a similar organisation to those homes set up by Aggie Weston. When Aggie Weston’s original Rest Home in Landport was destroyed in the Blitz during WW2 they took over the Duchess of Albany building in 1951 and it has been known as Aggie Weston’s ever since.

The outstanding work of Agnes Weston was recognised by Queen Victoria, who made Agnes a

Dame of the British Empire (GBE) shortly before her death in 1918 and was buried with full naval

honours.

The proposed naming scheme retains the former site provenance and strong links with the city's naval heritage.
