Earley Town Council has been informed that the proposed Oak Tree School has been approved by the Department for Education for the ‘pre-opening’ phase with a proposed opening in September 2022.

If you would like to attend one of these events, it is essential that you book a place through their Booking Form. Due to the varying Covid regulations they need to maintain a register of all stakeholders who would like to attend the events, including drop-ins, in case they need to contact people to move the event to a virtual meeting online. It will take you less than a minute to complete and will ensure you receive the most up to date information about the drop-in events, stakeholder consultation and project progress.
To share your views, you can also fill in an online survey on this link.
