Episode Details

A vacant warehouse in Rochdale is set to become a new school for 50 kids with special educational needs, featuring six classrooms, sensory rooms, a hall, offices, and a medical room — all designed to offer tailored, hands-on learning and daily support. The exterior will stay largely unchanged, but a secure artificial grass play area will be added, extending Whitehall Academy’s existing services for young people with autism and learning difficulties. The building, previously used by an engineering firm and empty since last October, would open from 9 AM to 3 PM for students, with staff staying later for clubs. This vital expansion aims to give vulnerable youth in the area the specialized care they need — and is now under review by Rochdale Council.
