Chellow Heights expansion proposals include Trinity All Saints site

Bradford Council has published statutory proposals to increase pupil places at Chellow Heights Special School and expand the school onto an additional site.

The proposed site is at Trinity All Saints C of E Primary School. The plans therefore cover two linked changes: an increase in the number of places available at Chellow Heights and the school’s expansion onto a further site.

The publication of statutory proposals does not, by itself, mean the changes have been approved or carried out. The information available states that proposals have been published, but does not set out whether a final decision has been made.

Details of the proposals

No proposed increase in pupil numbers is specified in the information provided. It also does not give a timetable for the expansion, a date when the additional site might open, or details of how the site would be used. The arrangements for pupils, staffing and facilities are not described.

The information does not set out whether the proposals are subject to a consultation, how people can respond, or when any response period might begin or end. It also does not include details of the reasons for the proposed increase in places or the expected effect on either school.

As a result, the announcement confirms the broad scope and location of the proposals, but not the practical arrangements or next steps. Any decision about implementation should be distinguished from the publication of the proposals themselves.

Chellow Heights is identified in the proposals as a special school. The additional site named is Trinity All Saints C of E Primary School. No further information is provided about the relationship between the two sites or whether the existing school site would continue to be used.

Further details, including numbers, timing and any process for considering the proposals, are not included in the information available.
