The secondary school, which has over 2,000 pupils, was selected to benefit from the government’s School Rebuilding Programme back in July 2022. While part of the academy is relatively modern, some buildings are more than 50 years old.

Currently the project is at the feasibility stage with a report due to be presented to the government soon.

Cramlington Learning Village was one of 61 schools announced to benefit from the School Rebuilding Programme in July 2022 and is among 400 projects currently in the scheme.
