Hatchside Free School has a planned opening date of April 2021 and is currently being built and when complete will join the other two schools, Newbridge School Lower School and Newbridge School Upper School as part of the Astrum Multi Academy Trust. Hatchside will cater for pupils aged 2-7 years of age with a range of SEND  (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) and with a focus on Assessment and Early Intervention.

This is the second school awarded to Blou by ISG on the national school framework, where both brickwork and carpentry are being carried out.
