WSP, on behalf of the Department for Education (DfE), invites you to provide feedback on the redevelopment proposals of St Peter’s Collegiate Academy.
The project is multi-phase involving the design and planning, through to demolition of existing buildings, creation of specialist temporary accommodation, and the build of a new secondary school.
The new academy building will replace four of the current seven buildings on site which are no longer fit for purpose and negatively impact the ability to deliver the curriculum. During the build, specialist accommodation will be provided by Kier to minimise disruption to teaching and learning for students. Further works, including landscaping, will also allow for enhanced outdoor facilities.
We would welcome your feedback to inform this development proposal as we prepare to submit a full planning application.
Background to the site
The site, St Peter’s Collegiate Academy, is located approximately 1.6km away from Wolverhampton City Centre. It is situation next to the village of Tettenhall and the training ground of Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club.
The existing academy includes secondary and sixth form education provision, offering GCSEs, BTECs and A-levels. Originally named St Peter’s Collegiate School, it was established in 1844 and, in 2012, it was converted to academy status. Renamed as St Peter’s Collegiate Academy, the existing site currently comprises seven teaching blocks, varying between one and two storeys in height.
