    Plans for Woodham Academy rebuild get green light

    Plans for Woodham Academy’s multi-million pound rebuild have been rubber-stamped by councillors.

    Proposals for the state-of-the-art, three-story facility were unanimously approved by Durham County councillors this week.

    The new school – expected to open in 2024 – will be made up of teaching buildings and sports facilities, and will be situated to the South-East of the existing buildings, which will later be demolished.

    The new ‘green friendly’ school – which has been developed to new Net Zero standards – will include solar panels across its entire roof.
