Site in Shrewsbury earmarked for two new schools
A site in Shrewsbury has been earmarked for a new school which could accommodate about 1,000 students.
Shropshire Council is exploring the opportunity to co-locate a special school and a mainstream facility in Bowbrook.
The authority is initially proposing a 120-place special school for pupils aged five to 16.
Karen Bradshaw, director of children’s services, said: “Earlier this month the government announced that Shropshire Council’s bid to establish a special school in Shrewsbury can proceed to the next stage of the process - the trust competition stage.
"We’re proposing a 120-place special school for pupils across the age range five to 16, but there is some way to go in the process."
