Latest plans

Architects, school leaders and governors shared our latest plans for our multi-sport playing surface during consultation events held this month.  Many parents shared their support for our proposal at our last event held during the PTFA Summer Fair on Saturday.

Current plans reflect views gathered during our first consultation earlier in the year.  Plans show:

• location near to the Pirate Ship, broadly equidistant from surrounding residential properties;
• smaller size to accommodate one 5-a-side football pitch, 2 netball courts and a junior athletics track with run-off zone, leaving 2 existing natural grass 5-a-side football pitches;
• new trees and other natural planting to the west and south of the playing surface to enhance the natural look and feel of our site and offer pupils more shade during summer months;
• naturally planted noise attenuation barriers to the west and south of the pitches;
• tree planting to further screen any light spillage from 4 directional lights.

Our current informal consultation closes on 8th July at 9am.  Parents may wish to submit their views:

• Fielding MSPS plans consultation

When the consultation closes, we will finalise our plans and submit a formal planning application later this month.  Construction works are anticipated to take place October-December 2019 with completion and hand-over for school use in January 2020.
