17/00058 - Langley Park Primary Academy (phase 2)

 

 

In September 2016 Langley Park Primary Academy opened as a two-form entry school (2FE), admitting two Reception classes until the school reaches its full capacity of 420 pupils. The plans for the new school building were designed to be delivered in two phases, in order to maximise KCC’s capital funding position. The first phase was completed in summer 2016 and will accommodate the school and its SEN specialist resource provision for two academic years (2016-17 and 2017-18).

 

It is now necessary to bring forward the second phase of the building project for September 2018, to ensure the school can continue to admit up to its published admissions number.
