Plans to build a £13m school for more than 200 children with special needs have been lodged.
Tameside council has applied to relocate Hawthorns School into a new building at the site of Longdendale Playing Field, in Mottram in Longdendale.
Hawthorns School is a primary age special school currently located on Lumb Lane in Audenshaw which shares a site with Aldwyn Primary school. It caters for pupils with a range of ‘complex’ special educational needs.
Hawthorns currently provides for 133 pupils across its existing building, as well as a teacher training cabin and additional modular units - but according to the planning statement the original school building only has capacity of up to 75 pupils.
The cost of expanding and relocating the school is budgeted at £13m which will come from the council's basic needs funding. The project was approved by the cabinet in June last year.
Bosses want to open the new building, which will accommodate 220 places, by September 2023.

Under the plans the school will single-storey and will provide teaching facilities for students with complex social communication needs, including children with severe autism.
