CONSULTATION ON PROPOSED EXPANSION OF PRINCES RISBOROUGH SCHOOL TO ACCOMMODATE TEMPORARY INCREASES IN PUPIL NUMBERS
There is a proposal agreed between Buckinghamshire Council and Insignis Academy Trust for a new building with four classrooms at Princes Risborough School.
In line with the guidance issued by the Department for Education, any increase in building capacity of more than one classroom requires consultation. This will run until 31st March 2023.
The Council has submitted planning permission for the four-class new building. Temporary classrooms will be needed until the permanent building is fully delivered (estimated Spring 2024).
The co-operation and participation of all involved will maximise the success of any solution to address the current lack of provision for school places in the area. We would therefore welcome your feedback during this formal consultation phase.
For more information and to complete the form, use the following link below by the 31st of March 2023.
