Open evening to share improvement plans for Falkland Primary School

We'll be sharing plans for a new purpose-built classroom building at Falkland Primary School, Newbury at an 'open evening' at the school.

It's being held between 6-8pm on Thursday 24 October so that local residents and the wider community can see the plans, ask our team any questions and have the opportunity to provide feedback, before the project is considered for planning approval.

The project will provide a new two-storey building with eight classrooms, welfare facilities and break-out spaces. The existing modular units will then be demolished, and the liberated space re-landscaped to maximise the outside space for the children.

The project also aims to resolve the drainage problems the school is currently experiencing on their playing field and to rationalise the existing car park layout.

Subject to planning approval, it is hoped that the building will be complete in readiness for the 2026 academic year, with work likely to start during summer 2025.
