S10 Consultation - Prestley Wood Academy
We warmly invite you to participate in this S10 consultation, part of the process of opening a Free School by Local Authority presumption in Cambridgeshire. The Department for Education require a consultation under Section 10 of the Academies Act 2010. This enables local residents, staff and governors from local schools, parents, councillors, community groups and any other interested parties to share their views.
The consultation period for our new Prestley Wood Academy which will be part of Horizons Education Trust will run from 22 September to 3 November 2023.
This is an important step in our journey to opening this new area special school for Cambridgeshire for September 2024. We are looking forward to listening to your views in order to provide you with the best area special school possible for our community.
We are keen to ensure that we deliver a school that meets local needs and requirements for a special school that will be co – educational for SEND pupils age 3 to 19 and we welcome your views. To share your view with us, please complete our feedback form by clicking on this link:
