Plans submitted to turn offices into SEND school

The school would replace the Fast Forward Vocational Training offices in Hull

Plans to turn offices in Hull into a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school have been submitted.

The independent school would replace the headquarters of Fast Forward Vocational Training, which would run the facility on Wincolmlee.

The site would extend to the adjoining Scott Street, near the River Hull.

The application to Hull City Council states that the "much needed" school would provide full-time education for students aged 14 to 19.

According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, the school would have up to 80 students, with a maximum of 60 on site at any time.

There would be between 25 and 40 staff, with up to 10 at the premises at a time.

The school would be accessed from Scott Street, which would also lead to a car park.
