A new school in a growing Nottinghamshire village has made progress after full plans for the site were revealed. Fresh details of the new Millside Spencer Academy on Rempstone Road in East Leake have been outlined in the latest set of planning documents put forward by Nottinghamshire County Council.
The permanent building for Millside Spencer Academy will be built with capacity for 315 primary pupils and a 26 place nursery. It is being planned in order to fulfil the need created by nearby housing developments such as The Skylarks estate, and developers say it will "satisfy projected demand for primary school places in East Leake".
The green light for the plan to create the "learning village" in Sheepwash Way, East Leake for 12 months ahead of the permanent school being built was given approval by Nottinghamshire County Council's policy committee in December 2021. Councillors had previously voiced concerns that plans for the temporary school could cause ‘chaos’ at drop off and pick up times.
