A head teacher has spoken passionately about the need for new school buildings in the Seaton Valley as plans went before councillors.
On Tuesday, members of Northumberland County Council's strategic planning committee considered plans to construct a new school on land east of the former Whytrig Midddle School on the Avenue in Seaton Delaval.
The £40m project from the council will see Astley Community High School and Whytrig Middle School rebuilt on a new shared campus to create a state-of-the-art learning environment for over 1,000 students.
