South Gloucestershire Council says it still needs to secure more funding from the Government to build the new co-located secondary and primary schools in Lyde Green which are woefully behind schedule.
The project to open a secondary school to serve the new estate, and a second primary school, has been pushed back time and time again from the expected opening date of September 2022.
Delays have included a change to location, a change in the sponsor of the secondary school, and a change in builder. The cost of the scheme was £30m in 2021 but £41m has so far been committed by the council and the Government.
