Construction of primary school scheduled to start Spring 2022

Following Telford & Wrekin Council’s recommendation to the Regional Schools Commission (RSC), a new primary school in Allscott is due to open in 2023, operated by the Learning Community Trust (LCT).

The new village school at Alllscott Meads is being built in close partnership with Telford and Wrekin Council with works due to commence this Spring. It is due to open in September 2023 and will provide 150 primary school places, with plans to also offer nursery provision on site.

The new school will have six classrooms, a sports hall, kitchen, staff room, offices, storage rooms and various other rooms for one-to-one teaching, support and interviews. There will also be a 1.1-acre sports field, hard-surfaced sports court, 40 bike parking spaces, and 18 parking spaces for staff and visitors.

Mike Sambrook, Managing Director of SJ Roberts Construction Ltd, commented: “We are really excited to create a high quality, modern primary school for the Allscott community and are working closely on this with Telford & Wrekin Council. We are aiming to keep to minimum disruption in the area while the building work takes place.”
