Planning Application Proposal

We are delighted to inform you that a planning application will soon be submitted for the redevelopment of St John Vianney Catholic Primary School.

As part of the proposed development, the existing school buildings (with the exception of the Lindisfarne block) and the caretaker’s house will be demolished. The new school building will then be constructed on a similar footprint to the original school building.

​

The redevelopment of St John Vianney Catholic Primary School is being funded by the Department for Education as part of their School Rebuilding Programme.

​

Galliford Try has been selected by the Department for Education as the construction contractor to design and build the new school.

The proposed redevelopment includes the erection of a new 2-storey building with reconfigured landscaping and improved car and cycle parking. The Lindisfarne block will be retained with some works proposed both internally and to the external play areas.

​

The new school building will include bright, spacious classrooms, a large hall, kitchen, library area, offices and support spaces. Externally there will also be redesigned hard play areas.

​

The new school building will meet modern environmental standards through minimising energy demand and using low carbon and renewable energy solutions, including solar panels and air source heat pumps on the roof.

​

When complete, there will be no change to the location of the pedestrian and vehicular access to the site from Hillhead Road.

There will also be no change to pupil or staff numbers as a result of the redevelopment.
