Proposals to expand Woodley School and College
A non-statutory consultation took place between 29 September 2023 and 27 October 2023 on a proposal to increase the places available at Woodley School and College to 194 pupil places gradually over time, using satellite provision, ahead of and leading up to the new school rebuild. An outcomes report on the feedback received from the consultation has now been published and has informed a decision by the local authority to publish legal notices. The outcomes report is available to read on our school organisation and planning web page.
Kirklees Council is now consulting on a statutory proposal. This means another opportunity to view the above proposal and comment on it before a final decision is made. The consultation will run until 10 December 2023. Full details of the proposal and how to respond can be found in the Woodley expansion statutory proposal.

We are looking for new Trustees and volunteers:
Being a Trustee is not too onerous – you would need to attend around 4 meetings per year to help decide PCAN’s activities, monitor our progress and make decisions about how we spend our funding. If you are interested, please email info@pcankirklees.org and we will get back to you.
Volunteers are really helpful to our families: you can volunteer at events, doing meet and greet, assisting with refreshments, helping people find information, support use with publicity/social media/newsletters – all sort of things! Again please email us at info@pcankirklees.org and we will get back to you.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
