PLANS to add a new building at an existing secondary school for a new school's first pupils have been submitted.
The Trinity School will eventually open at Mersea Homes' Chesterwell development in Mile End, Colchester.
However, from September this year its first cohort of pupils will be taught on the site of The Gilberd, in Brinkley Lane, Highwoods, which is also run by the Alpha Trust.

- The Gilberd to have less places when Trinity School opens
A planning application has been submitted to Colchester Council to install two temporary buildings at The Gilberd for Trinity School students.
- Land - the Chesterwell development where the new school will be built
The buildings will provide space for 240 pupils, with two intakes of 120 planned before Trinity School opens in 2023.
There will be eight teaching areas, toilets, group rooms and staff offices in the new buildings, which would be removed after 2023.
Colchester Council will have the final say on the plans.
