Thank you to those who responded to the Consultation that ended on Friday.  92% of respondents agreed that the Trust should open the new free school and there was resounding support for the vision encompassed in Soaring to excellence!  Issues raised through the consultation - community access, provision for pupils with SEND,  parking and road safety - will all be integrated into our planning for the new school.  The Trust respects the decision of the Local Authority to open to Nursery and Reception in September 2024.  Any changes to this would need to come from Staffordshire County Council which we would respond to.
