To expand Bramley Primary School from a capacity of 280 to 420 pupils in its primary phase and to increase the admission limit in reception from 40 to 60 pupils from September 2017.

We would also like your views on the proposal to establish provision for pupils with Complex Communication Difficulties including children who may have a diagnosis of ASC (Autistic Spectrum Condition) from September 2017 for approximately 6 pupils.

This consultation will run from Monday 9 November 2015 to Friday 4 December 2015 at 4pm and during this time there will be drop-in sessions at the school where you can have your say or find out more.
