It will be built on the site of the former Ravensdale Middle School which was knocked down after it closed in 2001
Plans to build a new school for children with special educational needs have been given almost unanimous backing in a consultation. It paves the way for the 160-place school for children with special educational needs and disabilities to come forward in Mansfield.
It was named as the Conservative-led council’s preferred site for the new school within wider plans for hundreds more SEND places. Local politicians previously described the plans as “fantastic” for the town with a belief it would benefit both children and nearby schools.It will begin as a 144-place school before eventually expanding to 160 places and will aim to provide a “very specific and specialist learning environment” for children with autism.
Now the plans have taken a major step forward after they were endorsed by a public consultation. Sixty responses were submitted to the council during the public survey, which took place between July and August.Mansfield District Council also said it would “support the principle” of a school on the land but raised some concerns over highways and the environment. The Labour-led district council also questioned how many of the prospective pupils would be from its district.
