A SCHOOL in Newton Aycliffe is planning to install a temporary building in its grounds to ease the pressure on space in the main building.
Woodham Community Technology College has applied for planning permission for a portable building.
The unit would be within the school boundary, next to the existing school building, and would create two extra classrooms, which will probably be used for English lessons.
The school expects that the temporary classrooms would have to remain in place for about 18 months.
A spokesman for Durham County Council said: "This is something the school wants to do to ease the pressure on existing classroom accommodation.
"It's not our project and it will be paid for by the school itself."
