Parents are being invited to have their say on a new first school set to be built in Redditch. 

As agreed in November's cabinet meeting, the first school and nursery, which will be off Foxlydiate Lane, is set to meet the increasing demand for school places after a rise in local housing developments. 

It will initially open as a three-form entry with 90 places per year group in 2027, when it is forecast that 30 children in each school year group will live on the new development, increasing to more than 60 by 2030. 

The school will be open to reception-aged children and will grow over time as it will take a new cohort of reception children each September. 

Cabinet member for education, councillor Tracey Onslow, said: "We want to work alongside the community throughout this project as we have done in other new school projects to ensure we can hear views and meet needs. 

"We want to hear from as many parents as possible so visit our dedicated website pages and fill out the form." 

Parents and carers can share their thoughts on the Worcestershire County Council's proposal including the age range, size, values and the build principles of the school. 

The next stage of the consultation launched yesterday (Monday, January 8) and will end on Sunday, February 25.
