The proposed development is for an 8 FE (Form Entry) school initially serving 210 and eventually up to 1,440 secondary school students, drawn from existing residential areas of Burton upon Trent, in particular to the west of the town centre and increasingly, over time, a number of new residential developments planned for the West of Burton. In addition to the students there will initially be around 78 staff (36 teaching and 42 non- teaching staff) employed by the school and this will increase to around 182 staff (91 teaching and 91 non-teaching staff) once all students are in situ. Tatenhill Parish is located in East Staffordshire and includes the villages of Tatenhill and Rangemore
