The "all-through" school, catering to children from ages three to nineteen, is proposed for a 5.2 acre site in Osgodby - which is just off the A63 and to the north east of Selby.

The Wellspring Academy Trust will be managing the school, they currently manage a portfolio of 27 schools, academies and colleges - ranging from North Yorkshire to the East Midlands.

Pupils will range from the early years, key stage one to two, key stage three to four, and college. The trust said that they are expecting that up to 20 per cent of pupils will be unable to walk. They also added that there will be 70 members of staff.
