Plymouth’s landmark “red school” is planning a £4m extension as part of a major restructure which will see it firmly establish classroom-based teaching.
The Millbay Academy is undergoing an overhaul which has already seen it have internal partitions and safety screens installed and will eventually include having a large extension built on stilts over the Martin Street side playground, so children can still play underneath.
The extension will contain new classrooms, necessary as the school roll grows and more space is needed and it moves away from the open plan structure at its predecessor the Plymouth School of Creative Arts.
