Plans to build a £13m school for more than 200 children with special needs have been lodged. Tameside council has applied to relocate Hawthorns School into a new building at the site of Longdendale Playing Field, in Mottram in Longdendale.

Hawthorns School is a primary age special school currently located on Lumb Lane in Audenshaw which shares a site with Aldwyn Primary school.

It caters for pupils with a range of ‘complex’ special educational needs. Hawthorns currently provides for 133 pupils across its existing building, as well as a teacher training cabin and additional modular units - but according to the planning statement the original school building only has capacity of up to 75 pupils.

The cost of expanding and relocating the school is budgeted at £13m which will come from the council's basic needs funding. The project was approved by the cabinet in June last year.
