A consultation has been launched on whether to expand an Ipswich school by 150 more places.
Suffolk County Council is asking residents and parents what they think about increasing Chantry Academy's size from 900 to 1,050 pupils.
As part of this plan, a new two-storey standalone block could be built to provide additional classrooms and specialist teaching spaces.
Current buildings could also be remodelled in addition to new ancillary facilities and additional staff and visitor parking being built.
