It aims to add a sixth-form for 100 students from September 2024, with another intake of 100 in September 2025.
This will require a new building.
The estimated cost of the new building will be £2million.
St Oscar’s, which is self-funding, has already managed to save up £1.2million and will be making a bid for further funding.
