Planning Application
We are excited to let you know that a planning application will soon be submitted for the redevelopment of The Woodlands Academy. The existing buildings are being replaced and will be demolished once a new building has been built.
The redevelopment of The Woodlands Academy is funded by the Department for Education as part of the School Rebuilding Programme. Galliford Try has been selected by the Department for Education to design and build the new school.
The proposed redevelopment includes a new L-shaped 2 storey school building, reconfigured landscaping and increased vehicle parking.
There will be no change to staff and student numbers as a result of the development. (The school is for children aged 2-16 with special educational needs).
The new school building will help to tackle climate change through minimising energy demand and using low carbon and renewable energy solutions.
