Stanground Academy consultation

This consultation document sets out details of the proposal to open a new Academy in Peterborough on 1 April 2012, sponsored by the Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust (GDFT). The new Academy will provide 11-19 education for 1800 pupils; 1500 11-16 and 300 post-16. It will replace the existing Stanground College which will close.

The Academy will open in April 2012 in the existing buildings of Stanground College. A major capital building programme costing £24m has been secured to provide ’state of the art’ buildings and facilities for pupils and staff. These new buildings will be completed by September 2013. High quality academic, vocational and sports facilities will be provided.

The Academy will serve the local community with pupils living closest to the new buildings having priority for places. Offering a full comprehensive curriculum, including academic GCSEs and A levels plus vocational courses at Level 2 and Level 3, the Academy is designed for pupils of all abilities. A high level of examination success is expected of all.
