Transforming learning in Loughborough, Quorn and Barrow
A major consultation exercise is set to be launched to give people the chance to have their say on options for the future of education in Loughborough, Quorn and Barrow upon Soar. The funding would present a fantastic opportunity to provide 21st Century schools with state-of-the-art facilities and the latest ICT and technology. Two options are under consideration, both aiming to remove the change of schools for students at age 14.
Option A would see two brand new schools and four re-modelled schools in Loughborough, Quorn and Barrow. All secondary schools would be for ages 11-16, apart from De Lisle which would remain as 11-19, and there would be a brand new Post-16 Centre for ages 16-19. There would be a brand new Rawlins College built on the existing site.
Option B would also provide two brand new schools and four re-modelled schools. The details are the same as for Option A, apart from the sixth form provision which would be part of Rawlins and a new school to be built on the Burleigh/Garendon site.
Both options propose new buildings for Rawlins, either as an 11-16 or 11-19 school.
There is no guarantee that Leicestershire will secure BSF funding for this, in which case a further option would be developed.
