The school has capacity for 420 pupils
A £9m primary school almost did not open on time after an “11th hour issue” over land. Stanton Cross Primary School in Wellingborough opened to its first 25 pupils in September as planned but North Northamptonshire Council had to “push very hard” to make sure it did, a council meeting heard.
The authority’s assistant director for education, Neil Goddard, said legal issues involving the site meant it “wasn’t certain” the school would open as expected in the run-up to welcoming its first pupils. Mr Goddard told NNC’s schools forum: “It was about land transfer. It’s a really impressive looking school, [I] like the design. There was a public open space outside and the legalities of the transfer of that and the maintenance were the things that [held it up].
