Council approves moving Scalby School to the Lower Graham site after RAAC found. Rebuilding costs are estimated at £30-40 million.
The new spot is the old Lower Graham School site. It’s on Lady Edith’s Drive. Scalby School is about 0.7 miles from there. Students have used temporary buildings. They found RAAC there in summer 2023.
The government will pay for rebuilding Scalby School. It will cost around £30 to £40 million. A councillor thinks this is good news. The old Scalby site will go back to the council.
Lower Graham School has been empty since 2017. The council waited to decide what to do. Moving the school there is more practical. They hope to save money too.
Another councillor thinks the move is great. He said students deserve better facilities. He wants everyone to share their opinions. The council will consider traffic concerns. They want to act quickly. Another councillor thinks that this is good news.
