With £41.5million being released jointly from the national Housing Infrastructure Fund and Section 106 funding, and £3.5million from Basic Need funding, plans for the new school are moving closer.
The school, which will be a 1,080 place secondary school, including a 32 place Special Educational Needs unit, will be on the Kingsbrook development, to the east of Aylesbury.
Anita Cranmer, Cabinet Member for Education and Skills said: "The new building will have strong environmental credentials to help minimise the carbon footprint of the school, [and] the aim is to open the new school for the autumn term in September 2022 to meet the rising demand from housing growth across the town."
Bill Chapple, Cabinet Member for Environment said: "The heating and hot water will be carbon neutral delivered via high efficiency air-source heat pumps. The roof area will have space for 204 square metres of PV panels, generating approximately 28,600 kwh/year.
The design of the building has also reduced embodied carbon emissions by use of timber framed structural insulated panels that are used for all areas of external wall build-up."
