The new school in the north end of Woodstock will now offer 856 elementary spaces. It was originally supposed to have 660 elementary spaces.

WOODSTOCK - The new school in the north end of Woodstock will be larger than originally planned.

When it was first announced back in 2021, the school was going to have 660 elementary spaces, 88 licensed child care spaces, and five new child care rooms. The province is now investing $25.6-million towards the school, which will increase the number of elementary spaces to 856.

The new school will be located on Sobeski Ave and it will be run by the Thames Valley District School Board. Director of Education Mark Fisher is glad that the province has approved the Thames Valley's request for a scope change.

"I’m thrilled that this funding will enable us to increase the size of the future Woodstock elementary school from 660 to 856 students. Thames Valley looks forward to enhancing our ability to support Oxford County students and families."

Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman was also happy to hear about the approval.

"The funding for additional student spaces at the new North Woodstock elementary school is great news for our community. This investment will ensure families and students have access to a quality learning environment in the years ahead."
