Plans to transform a North Tyneside school are set to be given the green light by councillors.
The Department for Education has asked North Tyneside Council for permission to carry out a partial demolition project to make way for a new building and sports hall at Whitley Bay High School.
If the proposals are given the go-ahead ageing teaching blocks to the south of the school site will be bulldozed to make way for a brand new facility built to the north.
