A SCHOOL is planning an extension to provide extra science teaching space.

John Taylor High School, in Barton-under-Needwood has applied for permission to build a new single storey building.

A grassed area on the northern boundary of the site has been earmarked for the extension.

A design and access statement submitted as part of the application said:

> “John Taylor High School continue to invest in their facilities to respond to curriculum demands and provide modern teaching and learning environments.  
>  
> “The timetable demand for science though all age groups has resulted in a shortfall of suitable teaching spaces which was partly addressed with the 2024 internal refurbishment project, but which leaves a deficit of one practical teaching space.  
>  
> “The proposal extends the science provision within the existing stand alone block, retaining the faculty cluster for ease of student and staff access.  
>  
> “There is no proposed increase in student or staff numbers as a result of the development.”
