Estimated to cost £9.6 million, ($14.3154 million) the building will hold up to 420 children aged four to 11, incorporating a speech and language centre. There will also be a nursery with a capacity for 30 younger children.
To be constructed on the grounds of the existing school, the new learning spaces will be more modern, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Designed to bring 21st century facilities to the school, the scheme will include natural ventilation, solar panels, and a green roof.
Work is due to start on site in February 2013, with completion and operation of the school building scheduled for spring 2014, followed by external landscaping in Autumn 2014.
