Road improvements will be made around a high school if expansion plans are given the go ahead.
Members of Norfolk County Council s planning committee will be scrutinising the council s application to build a new teaching block at Ormiston Victory Academy on Middleton Crescent, Costessey later today.
It has been recommended for approval, as long as highway improvements are done, and if built it would include 14 classrooms to allow the school to teach an extra 300 11-16-year-olds, taking its capacity to 1,500.

A secondary school near Norwich has been given the green light to build a new block which will enable to it to take on 300 extra students.
Ormiston Victory Academy in Costessey will be allowed to build a new block on its current land, adding 14 classrooms, 42 parking spaces and 60 cycle storage slots.
The application was decided at a virtual meeting of Norfolk County Council s planning committee on Friday, April 23.
At the meeting, officers discussed the 13 objections made by neighbours, with the main concern in relation to the expansion s potential impact on traffic in the area.
There is limited option for siting the new class base block. The siting has been devised to ensure no loss of formal sports pitch provision. The staff and pupil movements to and from the school would increase from the proposal, but the social benefit is clear and the necessity to increase school spaces in the area to cope with the expanding community in Costessey would be met. Whilst the proposal would not result in any highways issues because of this, there may be an impact on residential amenity to the west of the site. However, the social benefit from the necessary expansion of the school would more than outweigh the limited additional impact.
