THE FIRST images of Worcester’s proposed new secondary school in the Newtown Road area of the city have been revealed as a further consultation scheme begins.
County education bosses want to hear from parents, children and stakeholders to have their say on the new school.
City residents have until January 23 to air their views on the age range, size and values of the school and how it should be built.
The results of the consultation will help shape the requirements for finding the right Academy Trust to operate the school.
As confirmed at November’s council cabinet meeting, the new secondary school is proposed to be built in the Newtown Road area of the city subject to recommendations and permissions.
Coun Marcus Hart, cabinet member for Education said: “We are really keen to hear from all stakeholders on the Council’s current proposal for the school, and would urge people to use the consultation form on our website and have your say.
“We know the new school in Worcester is something the local communities and others are in support of. We were pleased with the level of response to the first survey and we are hoping this second consultation will also be something our local communities can really get involved in and together we can shape the future of the new school. ”
Nearly 600 responses were received as part of the first round of engagement on the new secondary school project.
