There will be capacity for up to 160 pupils from seven to 19 years old
Permission has been granted for a new school in Mansfield for children with special educational needs and disabilities. On Tuesday, March 12, the plans were approved for the school, which will have the capacity for up to 160 pupils from seven to 19 years old.
Arc Partnership, a joint venture between Nottinghamshire County Council and SCAPE, will be designing and cost-managing the project, whilst the construction will be undertaken by Morgan Sindall. The purpose-built facility will provide a specialist learning environment for children with social, emotional, and mental health needs.This new school is also part of a wider project being carried out by the council to create a further 490 SEND school places by 2026.
Councillor Smith said: "It’s great news that planning consent has been given for this state-of-the-art, purpose-built facility, and is a significant step forward in making sure we have sufficient places for our SEND children across Nottinghamshire. Building a school like this will provide a specific and specialist learning environment for pupils with autism and social, emotional, and mental health needs.
He continued: "I would also like to thank my colleague, Councillor Andre Camilleri, who identified this site and has been pushing for a school of this type in his division for more than two years. I know he’ll be delighted the application has been approved.”
