Opinions are being sought over plans to open a new church school offering primary and secondary education in Wellingborough.
Peterborough Diocese Education Trust (PDET) is seeking public opinion over proposals to open a school for youngsters aged three to 18 as part of the £900m Stanton Cross development.
A statement taken from the website states: “The Peterborough Diocese Education Trust is working with the DfE on a proposal to open a new academy school in the Stanton Cross area.
“This will add parental choice in an area of limited school places and where there is a planned new housing development that will further stretch existing school provision.
“We propose that this new school will be a centre of community and will be open for use as a new resource to be accessible outside school hours for local use.
“It will be part of the wider family of PDET schools working closely in partnership with local schools to best meet the educational needs of all members of our community.
“We are proposing an open, inclusive and welcoming faith school to serve the children of the Stanton Cross area with an all-through quality education.
“Our unique ethos celebrates the value and fundamental worth of each child and seeks to build confidence and transferable skills for employment.
“We need your views as we gather support to include with our application.”
The trust hopes to build a school in the next two years and would like people to answer the survey questions in a bid to find out how much demand there is for the new educational establishment.
Work has already begun on the development, which will see 3,650 homes built as well as community facilities.
