- Establish that Fox Wood operates on two satellite school sites of Fox Cubs located at Sandy Lane in Orford (WA2 9HY) and by moving the post-16 provision to the Peace Centre building at Peace Drive in Great Sankey (WA5 1HQ). This is in addition to the main site at Woolston Learning Village.
- Increase capacity of Fox Wood to a 2-form entry school of 252 school places for pupils aged 4–19 years, which includes 60 places in post-16 provision from 1 September 2025.
- Change of age range at Green Lane from 4–19 to 4–16 with effect from 1 September 2025, with the transfer of post-16 pupils and relevant staff to Fox Wood
