The brand-new school will cater for pupils from nursery to post 16 and is planned to open in two phases starting with the secondary, with 150 places for year seven students starting in September 2025.
The primary phase of the school will follow a year later, with nursery and reception admissions in September 2026.
When full, the school will accommodate up to 420 primary and 750 secondary school pupils, as well as a 52 place nursery and 200 place sixth form.
In March this year, the Express and Star published a timeline of the former Rugeley Power Station site where the B station was demolished in 2016, 21 years after the A station – the two had provided employment along with Lea Hall Colliery in the town since 1972.
