Plans have been approved to refurbish and expand a special educational needs school in north Bristol. Claremont School in Henleaze provides education for disabled pupils but its current building has been described as “not fit for purpose”.
Bristol City Council’s development control committee A granted planning permission for a major refurbishment and extension of the school. Claremont is currently split over two sites, but the refurbishment would see all pupils brought to one.
The plans include demolishing the existing extensions to the Victorian Claremont House, and rebuilding a two-storey extension. They would mean the capacity of the school increasing by 18 places.
