A decision is set to be made next week on plans to expand The Duston School in Northampton.
Northamptonshire County Council will consider a report on Thursday, calling for a joint consultation with the school on proposals to expand its age range to include primary school provision.
Councillor Catherine Boardman, cabinet member for children and education, said: “The proposals to expand The Duston School would create an all-through academy with an additional 420 primary places in an area of Northampton where we’re seeing considerable new housing developments.
“This proposal would help to meet the associated demand for school places.”
The report estimates the expansion would cost about £4 million. Bids for capital funding have been submitted to the Department of Education.
The meeting takes place at County Hall at 10am, and the papers are available on the council’s website.
