A new school for 80 secondary age children is to be built in Bury in the next year. Planning approval has been granted in the past week for the two-storey SEND school which will be constructed on the site of the former Castlebrook secondary, which was demolished in 2017 and replaced nearby by Unsworth Academy.
SEND schools are for children with special educational needs and disabilities if they have a learning difficulty and/or a disability that means they need more support.
The school will support the needs of up to 80 students, most of whom will have restricted mobility. Documents supporting the proposals for the school, which is set to open in September 2023, will have a multi use games area (MUGA), on-site car parking and access will be from Parr Lane with a pick up and drop off area.
