COUNCILLORS have enthusiastically approved plans to rebuild Oasis Academy Mayfield.
Southampton City Council’s planning committee said the £15m proposals are “good news for the city”.
They yesterday voted unanimously to support an application to rebuild most of the academy’s site at The Grove, Sholing, providing a school for 900 pupils. Despite doubts hanging over the scheme because of a Government review of school building projects, academy bosses, the council and developers Carillion remain confident of securing funding.
The plans will see new vehicle access added to the site from Ashley Crescent, more sporting facilities and state-of-the-art classrooms and learning areas.
