A new independent special school for 35 children is to be founded in Bolton.
Edstart Schools has been granted planning permission by Bolton Council to convert a building on Manchester Road.
The group runs schools in Greater Manchester and Wirral for children who are “unable to maintain regular attendance at a mainstream school”.
The Manchester Road premises is a three-storey end-of-terrace building with a basement currently used by LBT Brick & Façades as offices.
