Details of the ground-breaking plans were revealed this week by West Sussex County Council, which says the proposal would bring a massive injection of central government cash for the building of a new secondary school for 11 to 18 years olds.

And they are confident it would mean an educationally-strengthened secondary school in the Midhurst area providing the best schooling.

"We could be on to something here which gives us the best school in the county," said Mr Dunn this week.

"We honestly believe ambitious young parents would move to Midhurst to get their children into this school."

The council said the location of the proposed new academy had not yet been decided.
