The Regional Schools Commissioner has announced that Reach 4 Academy Trust will be the sponsor for the new 3 – 18 years school on the old Pye Bank school site. Councillor Jackie Drayton, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People & Families, Lifelong & Community Learning and Councillor for Burngreave Ward said:
“This is fantastic news which means over the next few months Reach 4 and the Council, in consultation with the community will draw up concrete plans for the new school and work.”
These designs will protect and refurbish the old Grade 2 listed Pye Bank School and develop new buildings on the site. The whole complex will include, a sports hall, outdoor play and multi-use games areas, space for early years, primary, secondary, sixth form, post 16 and community education. We will be working with Reach 4 to ensure that the wider community can access these fantastic facilities.
