Proposed designs for a new school have been released.

The Ongar Academy is set to open in Fyfield Road in September, with pupils housed in temporary classrooms until the 6,500 sq ft school is completed.

Headteacher David Grant said: "The wonderful facilities available at the Ongar Leisure Centre including the sports hall, swimming pool, football and rugby pitches will be fully available to the school from the day we open and our founder cohort of students will watch as this multi-million pound facility rises from the ground.

"They will be actively involved, alongside parents and teaching staff, in designing this superb new school.”
