Changes affecting Fox Wood, Green Lane and Sixth Form consultation

Making significant changes to maintained special school provision

Warrington Borough Council are currently undertaking a consultation that will affect pupils at Fox Wood, Green Lane and Woolston Sixth Form

The proposed changes



Under the School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained Schools) (England) Regulations 2013, we are informing interested parties of the intention to make the following changes to Fox Wood Special School and Green Lane Community Special School:

  • 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
