Spofforth C of E Primary School has submitted plans to build a 227 square metre classroom extension.
The school, which was formed in 1847 and currently accepts 114 pupils, wants to demolish and replace an existing 180 square metre prefabricated building “due to its current state of dilapidation”.
The new building will include classrooms for reception and key stage one, as well as two glazed canopies of an additional 76 square metres.
As the local education authority, North Yorkshire County Council will decide whether to grant planning approval for the extension, with a decision expected on August 8.
In 2015, Spofforth aligned with nearby Follifoot primary school to create the Federation of Follifoot and Spofforth Church of England Primary Schools.
