A multi million pound expansion is set to create 560 new places at a school in Rushcliffe. It comes after the plans for Rushcliffe Spencer Academy in West Bridgford have been given the go-ahead.
Rushcliffe Spencer Academy joins a list of schools across the county that will see millions of pounds invested by Nottinghamshire County Council over the next year and a half. It will create an additional 560 secondary school places and provide the local community with a new improved sports facility.
Hundreds of school places are needed following the addition of thousands of new homes in the catchment area in recent years. Councillor Keith Girling, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Strategic Asset Management, said: “Building and expanding schools is one of the key ambitions of this council. There is no better investment than securing children get a good education.
