A NORTH Yorkshire school has marked its 50th anniversary by unveiling plans to move to a new site by 2013.
The Ripon Cathedral Choir School has yet to identify a new location, but hopes to make the switch within two-and-a-half years, with talks taking place with Harrogate Borough Council.
The school is currently based in Whitcliffe Lane, Ripon, and caters for 71 pupils. It said a move would allow it to increase that number.
Some of the money for the new site is earmarked to come from its own funds and some from selling its existing land.
Chris McDade, the head teacher, said: “We have to move forward and we want a new building which will be fit for the next 50-plus years.”
