A BASILDON school could help plug the teacher shortage crisis if plans for a £300,000 extension to be used as a training centre are approved.
Chalvedon School, Pitsea, plans a a three-storey extension to house student teachers and a hi-tech medical centre for special needs pupils.
The school, where Tory leader David Cameron launched his education strategy last month, wants to develop the building in a central courtyard, with the medical complex on the ground floor and extra classrooms on the upper two floors.
