Balgores School is set to accommodate 300 pupils aged between four and 19. The architectural plans are under development but face objections from Sports England over the loss of a local playing field. Councillor Jane Keane expressed concerns regarding obesity issues linked to this loss. The school's design includes classrooms differentiated by ability, therapy rooms, assembly halls, and a multi-use sports pitch. Traffic management is a concern, with only 41 parking bays and fears of congestion on Balgores Lane. Further refinements on the project are necessary as community feedback is being considered.
