A planning application has been submitted to turn offices in Ruddington into a special school, with places for 80 pupils creating 40 jobs. The application has been submitted by Polaris Children's Service to transform the use of Easthorpe House on Loughborough Road, a Grade II listed building.
Polaris Children's Service is a community of children's service providers. A letter from them to Rushcliffe Borough Council states the proposal is to teach up to 80 pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) between the ages of seven and 16 at the site.
It's proposed 30 full-time and 10 part-time jobs would be created if the application gets the green light, creating a total of 40 new jobs. A supporting statement says 'this identified local need is only increasing when considering the impacts on young people have become more pronounced during the last two years because of Covid restrictions'.
