School will give extra choice

I am delighted to support the ambitious plan to create a new ‘state-of-the-art’ free school sixth form college here in central Halifax to serve amongst other areas Halifax, Warley, Sowerby Bridge and Northowram and Shelf. The exciting project which is being led by the successful Principal of Trinity Academy will, subject to approval, have a proposed opening date of September 2016. It is envisaged that the new college will create more choice and provide places for 1,000 students, enabling an estimated 25 per cent of A-level students currently travelling outside
