Councillor Amanda Chadderton, Cabinet Member Education and Skills, said: “Oldham Council welcomes the announcement from the ESFA that they want to move forward with work to build Saddleworth School on the site they have identified.
“We expect a planning application will be submitted in due course and this will be decided in accordance with our normal planning procedures.
“I wish to also confirm our focus has been, and will continue to be, achieving the best outcome for the children attending the school now and in future years and we will ensure the building of a new school remains a priority for Oldham Council.”
