Residents have met to discuss proposals for a new £16million secondary school to teach 825 pupils in the proposed new town at Sherford.Education chiefs held a public meeting last night to unveil plans for the first phase of the school, which would open in 2010 and cater for 100 pupils across all age groups.
Numbers would grow quickly as Sherford expanded to 5,500 homes by 2019.
Devon County Council held a meeting at Yealmpton Community Centre last night to give people the first chance to consider the proposals.
The county may establish a regular maintained school, but interested parties will also be invited to 'bid' to establish a particular type of school such as a foundation school, a voluntary-aided or -controlled school or an academy.
Ivybridge Community College has already revealed that it is considering federating with the new school.
A public examination of the Sherford proposals is expected to be held in the New Year.
Further details of the consultation can be obtained online at www.devon.gov.uk/ index/learning/education_ consultations_notices.htm
