Michael is delighted to report that London South East Academies Trust has now been successful in their application to run a new school called Frimley Oak Academy.
Working closely with Surrey County Council, Frimley Oak Academy will offer specialist education for 170 pupils aged 11 to 19 with Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.
The Trust can now begin the task of converting its vision into reality, working with Department for Education (DfE) officials throughout the pre-opening phase on key milestones that need to be met before a funding agreement can be signed.
DfE officials will also continue to work with the local authority to finalise the site for the school, ensuring that it is both affordable and deliverable in a way that maximises the speed that the new school will be open and meeting the need for additional, specialist, high quality places in Surrey.
