Education £13m school funding to be approved
Bristol Post
|May 07, 2025
Three-quarters of the cash to pay for the construction of the new school will come from the developers who built the Ladden Garden Village
A PLAN to spend £13 million building a new primary school could be approved next week to serve a town with giant new housing developments. The school would be built in north Yate to educate the children of families living in the Ladden Garden Village and could open in three years.
The primary school is expected to open in 2028 or 2029, if construction goes according to schedule, with works due to begin early 2027. Yate, a town 12 miles north-east of Bristol, is growing rapidly, with its population forecast to increase due to thousands of new homes.
