Plans for a new 315-place primary school in Worksop could be given the go-ahead by Nottinghamshire County Council next week. The Conservative-led authority has put forward the plans alongside its contractor Arc Partnership for the Gateford Park housing development.
The plans were unveiled this spring following long-standing calls for the new school to be built on the 750-home Gatekeeper Way estate. The council’s planning and rights of way committee will discuss the plans on June 6 and the school is recommended for the go-ahead.
If approved, the authority hopes to open the school to its first cohort of new pupils in September next year. The single-storey school would be built on part of the major housing development and would initially have the capacity for 210 children and a 26-place nursery.
