A SCHOOL is undertaking a consultation to increase its admission intake by a whole classroom per year.
Meetings have been taking place between Essex County Council and Ormiston Academies Trust, the group which runs Ormiston Rivers in Burnham, over recent months.
To satisfy the future requirements for secondary school places defined within Essex county’s ten-year plan, the academy is asking parents and staff if the school should increase capacity by an additional 30 pupils.
In a letter, principal Emma Baker said: “The trustees see the proposed expansion of the school as an opportunity to meet the increasing demand for places within the local area, whilst continuing to offer an excellent education to all students.
