The Gatwick School is an all-through [2] free school located on the Manor Royal estate,[2] on the northern outskirts of Crawley, just south of the Gatwick Airport boundary.
Development
[edit ]The development of the school has at times been fraught and controversial. The school's planning application was rejected in July 2015 due to traffic and safety concerns.[3] The school initially opened in industrial units on the Manor Royal Business Park in 2014, and applied for development permission on the site.[3] In addition to opposition in relation to parking, noise and traffic,[3] the application was also opposed by the Manor Royal business group which opposed any non-business development within the Manor Royal.[4]
