Replacing the Fox Covert Primary School and St Andrew's Fox Covert RC Primary School Buildings

Overview

We would like your views on a proposal for a new school building for Fox Covert Primary School and St Andrew's Fox Covert RC Primary School.  The proposals include associated parking, landscaping and playing fields and demolition of the existing schools.  The former janitors house would also be demolished. The existing schools and nursery would continue to operate during construction.
