DISCUSSIONS are underway to work out how to ease pressure on reception class places in the town centre following the demise of Elements free school.
Wellspring Academy Trust announced last Thursday that plans for the new school had been scrapped indefinitely due to difficulties in finding a site and not enough pupils signing up.
It had been due to open in temporary accommodation at Barnsley College's former Belle Vue House campus this September before transferring to a new building for September 2016.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated October 30.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
