AN ALL-weather sports pitch is planned for Saltburn on Huntcliff School land next to the town's leisure centre.
It would be floodlit and available to the public out of school hours.
The £200,000 scheme is subject to approval by the New Opportunities Fund, funded by the national lottery.
Val Clayden, Huntcliff's assistant head, said a decision was expected in May. If this was positive, the pitch would be opened in the autumn.
"It all hinges on the New Opportunities Fund approving," Mrs Clayden added. "We are hopeful it will because this is a community resource as much for the community as the school."
She said the plan was for the pitch to be used mostly for five-a-side football and games like netball, basketball and hockey.
Mrs Clayden said the project would be run as a partnership between the school and the leisure centre.
