Plans for a new school have been welcomed as a 'helping hand' in a Nottinghamshire town. An office building on Victoria Road, Netherfield, could become an independent school for children who have either been excluded, or are at risk of being excluded from their current school, if fresh plans are approved.
Venture Learning currently have one 15 space school on Forester Street, elsewhere in Netherfield, with the new school proposed to provide 20 places to meet the growing for places in independent Schools. The school aims to help pupils transition back into mainstream education.
Locals welcomed the prospective change of use to the building. Teresa Moore, 52, a Morrisons worker from Netherfield, said: "I think that's a good idea if kids do need the help. At the end of the day people need a helping hand sometimes.
