Published: 16 Sep 2024

A public consultation opens today <Monday 16 Sept> into plans to build seven new classrooms, offices and additional dining space at the school in Sheldrake Way, Mildenhall. The plans can be viewed online.

The extension, which is due to open in January 2026, will replace the modular units currently on the school site. Pupil numbers will not increase.

Cllr Andrew Reid, Cabinet member for Education and SEND at Suffolk County Council, said:

“This extension will make a significant difference to pupils and staff at Mildenhall Academy.

“I’d encourage those in the community to view the plans and, if you’d like, submit your comments.”

Suffolk County Council is working with Concertus Design & Property to deliver the plans.

To comment, visit www.suffolk.gov.uk/consultations. The consultation will close on September 30. You can also comment via email to schools@suffolk.gov.uk

Draft plans will also be displayed at the entrance to the Mildenhall Hub.
