Northamptonshire county
council will be discussing proposals for the construction of a new primary
school at a meeting next Tuesday.
The proposed school will be
next to the Peterborough Church of England diocese to promote new housing
growth in the area.
Matthew Golby, cabinet
member for learning, skills and education said: “Plans for a new primary school
in the Kettering area are continuing to gather pace and at next week’s meeting,
we’ll discuss the proposal from the Peterborough Church of England diocese to
run the new school as a voluntary-aided school.”
Voluntary-aided schools are
maintained schools and are eligible for capital funding by grant from the
department.
The council will also be
discussing potentially building a new special school on the former Bective
Middle site in Northampton as well as providing more primary school places at
Green Oaks.
Moreover, plans for
Kingsthorpe Primary School’s expansion will be discussed after not being
granted planning permission leading to the council formally withdrawing its
proposals.
