Public meeting to be held on plans for new Lancaster school

A public meeting will be held about plans for a new school in Lancaster.

Lancashire County Council is proposing to create a new school for children with social, emotional and mental health difficulties.

The school would open in September 2023 at the former Firbank Children's Centre on Firbank Road on the Ridge estate, if plans get the go-ahead.

The public meeting will be held to discuss the plans for a 54-place school, on Wednesday October 12 at 4pm at the Firbank Children's Centre.

A public consultation is currently under way and you can give your views here. It runs until December 2 2022.

"We are seeking your views about our proposal to establish a new co-educational primary special free school to meet the needs of children with social, emotional and mental health difficulties in Lancaster and whether you think this is a good idea," said a spokesperson for Lancashire County Council.

"We want to assure you that we will give careful consideration to all your comments and opinions. Your comments and opinions will be valuable and contribute to formulate and finalise the local authority's specification for a new school.

"There are no primary special schools for children with social, emotional and mental health needs in the Lancaster/Morecambe area of Lancashire or in Fylde and Wyre."
