Victory for Wythenshawe as major secondary school shut down by government set to reopen next year
A major secondary school in Wythenshawe which was controversially closed by the government two years ago is set to reopen next year after a hard-fought battle by Manchester City Council.
In a statement at the time, a spokesperson for the DfE said the decision had "not been taken lightly" and that the trust and local authority were "working together to ensure appropriate provision" was found for students. Wythenshawe MP, Mike Kane, who previously fought against the then Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson, in a bid to keep the school open has welcomed the opening of the new school - to be known as Dixons Newall Green - on the former site.
"I recently visited Dixons Brooklands Academy and was impressed by the children, the staff and the ethos of the school. I have no doubt that Dixons Newall Green when it opens to students in September 2023 will offer our children a brilliant education and opportunities for personal development right here in Wythenshawe and I am genuinely delighted to hear this news."
