Following an open meeting last night (13 September) at William Edwards School, Steve Munday, the Head Teacher, gave the following information:
''The school’s application for the new school will be submitted this month. There will be an interview with the Department for Education in January 2017 and a decision on the funding for the new school will be made in March 2017. If it is approved, it is planned to open the new school on council owned land east of Blackshots in September 2019. It could also lead to the relocation of Grays Athletic Football Club on part of the land as an important part of the “Blackshots Sports Hub”.
