MORE details about a new secondary school for Reading have been released thanks to a planning application.

Bowmer & Kirkland, developers for the Department of Education, will build the River Academy school in Richfield Avenue.

It will be built on the former golf driving range next to Rivermead Leisure Centre and teach 1,500 pupils.

The developers have submitted two planning applications to Reading Borough Council.

Application 221132 details the materials that will be used, while assessments related to tree protection and biodiversity are in application 221133.

Assuming approvals are granted, once built, the school will be run by the Maiden Erlegh Trust.
