Consultation has concluded
UPDATE: The expansion was approved by the Regional Schools Commissioner (RSC) in April 2022.
This consultation has now closed. The academy trust will submit a business case (including the results of the consultation) to the Regional Schools Commissioner, who will make the final decision.
The Propeller Academy Trust’s Directors and Governors, working with Oxfordshire County Council, propose to expand Kingfisher School by 16 places from September 2023. This would increase the overall capacity from 102 to 118, and would secure long-term provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in the local area.
For further information, please download the consultation leaflet.
