Following the progress of the developments known as Boyton Place, Haverhill and Westland Heath, Sudbury, the Council has identified an increased need in primary school places and seeks to establish two new primary schools.
Westland Heath Primary School and Boyton Place Primary School are due to open as new one form of entry (FE) 210 place, mainstream, 4 to 11 mixed primary schools, with a 30-place EY setting on each site. There is a masterplan to expand Westland Heath Primary School to a 2FE 420 place primary school and it will be expanded if/when required in consultation with the academy trust.
The new schools will primarily serve the families on each new development respectively. It is planned, based on current forecasting, that the schools will open to Reception and Key Stage 1 aged children in September 2028.
The schools will be built to meet the forecast demand for places as a result of the new housing, however the PAN will be limited on opening and will increase in line with housing growth and increased pupil numbers. The new schools and pre-schools are currently in design, and will soon be submitted for planning permission, therefore the successful academy trust will not have the opportunity to influence the design of the new school.
The Council welcomes proposals from all potential academy trusts including for voluntary aided schools and academies with a faith designation.
The deadline to submit application forms is Tuesday 26 May, no later than 10am.
