Great news!
We received a phone call yesterday from the Regional Schools Commissioner’s office asking us to attend an online interview, the final step in the application process.
We are now finalising the dates, but we are provisionally looking at mid-April for the interview.
We’ll share our thoughts on how it has gone following the interview too, but as a reminder we would not expect to hear about the success or otherwise of our bid until the Summer.
In the current national emergency it still remains to be seen how this would affect our plans in terms of opening in September 2021, but that is still our aim. We are optimists.
Stay safe everyone, and thanks to the DfE too for their work on continuing to process these applications even at such a turbulent time.
