New plans for a school in Armitage have been submitted.

The all through facility would also feature a sports hall and pitches built on part of the former Rugeley Power Station site.

The school will be part of the John Taylor Multi-Academy Trust.

A previous planning application had already been approved, but changes to the design have seen new proposals drawn up.

A planning statement said:

> “The sports hall has been separated from the main building to allow for easier management of community use and to realise internal building design operations.  
>  
> “Minor alterations have been made to the internal building design to evenly distribute lobby stairs and achieve fire compliance.  
>  
> “Those changes will ensure that the school building meets the Department for Education’s technical standards and that the approved plans will be implementable.”  
>

The facilities will include a range of grass and all-weather sports pitches and a multi-use games area.
