Internationella Engelska Skolan, IES, has signed a rental agreement with Famera Fastigheter AB for a new school to be constructed in Norrtälje. The school is scheduled to open at the start of the 2023/2024 academic year. IES Norrtälje is planned to be a school with two parallel classes for grades F-9 for a total of 600 students when completed. A schoolyard as well as a new sports facility will also be built adjacent to the school, which is centrally located with good transport links. The school will contribute to meeting the need for additional school places as identified by the municipality. Provided all the necessary permits are obtained, the queue for IES Norrtälje will open on 1 February 2022. The contract is conditional on being granted a building permit and a permit from the Swedish Schools Inspectorate.
