The school will become the new base for the county’s Orion Academy on the outskirts of Oxford.
The school was previously named Northfield School and was rated inadequate by Ofsted in November 2018 before becoming an academy in February.
Orion Academy, which caters for children aged 10 to 16, is one of six SEND schools in Oxfordshire operated by The Gallery Trust; a special multi-academy trust based in Oxford.
The new development will allow the academy to double its intake to cater for 108 pupils, including 16- to 18-year-olds.
The new development is planned to deliver 14 general classrooms - 12 for pupils aged 10 to 16 and two for students aged 16 to 18.
