Views sought on new primary school plan
Leicester Forest U8s Make National Final
Leicester Forest East and Braunstone Town residents are being asked for their views on plans for a new £4 million school.
The Leicester Forest U8s team now go through to the national final to be held later in the year. It was a very successful day for the Leicester Forest Rugby Club and local grassroots rugby with lots of fun and many tries scored!

A consultation has launched encouraging people to have a say on Leicestershire County Council’s proposals to build a 210place primary in the area. It can be viewed at http://www.leics.gov.uk/schoolproposal
Last Sunday Leicester Forest Rugby Club held the North and Mid England Regional Lexus Rugby finals at their Hinckley Rd ground. Some of the best Under 7's to under 10 age group teams from around the region were in attendance. All of the Leicester Forest teams competed very well with the U10's just missing out on a tournament win and the U8's winning their final against Nottingham Corsairs.
Pupil forecasts show that extra places will be needed because of increased births, more families moving into the area and new housing developments. As there are limited locations in the area, it’s proposed to build the new school on the former school site off Holmfield Avenue – this would reduce costs as the council already owns the land. Ivan Ould, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for children and families, said: “Primary numbers are growing in Braunstone Town and Leicester Forest East and we want to create extra places to ensure that all learners continue to have an opportunity to attend a local school. “We’ve looked carefully at the options and there is very limited potential to expand the existing schools. This means that the most practical and affordable solution is to create a new primary which would be funded by the government. The council has a legal obligation to ensure that there are enough school places in different parts of the county, and to work closely with the Department for Education (DfE) to find the best organisation to run a new school. The consultation runs until 11th November
