Management Information Sheet
Cringleford - Commissioning of a New Free School under Section 6A of Education and Inspections Act 2006
Norfolk County Council has identified the need to establish a new primary school in Cringleford, Norfolk, planned to open in September 2024.
The planning area of Cringleford has experienced significant population growth over many years and continues to do so. There is currently one 420 place Primary School in the community, which has been able to manage the continued growth with support of other surrounding schools, but this school is now at capacity.
Through the growth of a further 1300 new homes being built and the popularity of the area it is expected continued pressure will exist until the opening of the new school within the new housing development. The site for the new school will come to the County Council free of charge from the developers.
The free school presumption process to identify a preferred sponsor for this new school is now open and closes at 12 noon on Monday 7 November 2022.
