Development

The development of the school has at times been fraught and controversial. The school's planning application was rejected in July 2015 due to traffic and safety concerns. [4] The school initially opened in industrial units on the Manor Royal Business Park in 2014, and applied for development permission on the site. [4] In addition to opposition in relation to parking, noise and traffic, [4] the application was also opposed by the Manor Royal business group which opposed any non-business development within the Manor Royal.
