I too had heard that it was going to be a private school. We already have a private school in Accrington so I'm not sure how they thought it was going to be viable. Unless the plan was that the kids going would be funded by LCC, i.e. had been expelled or refused from every other school in the area and so had to be placed somewhere else. Funny thing is though that I had heard that it had already got the nod that planning permission would be approved for the school long before it had technically been submitted.

I didn't know that the plans had changed - I knew nothing about the flats idea, so now I don't really know what the situation is.
