Have your say on revised and updated plans for proposed expansion of Aylestone School. Thursday 6 March to Wednesday 19 March 2025.

Notice was given in 2023 that Herefordshire Council intends to make a prescribed alteration to Aylestone School.

Proposal

The proposed alteration will expand the school from a capacity of 450 to 750 by 1 September 2026.

The council is committed to delivery of the required additional secondary education provision in the north of the city by expanding Aylestone School. This was outlined in the Cabinet decision on 23 February 2023.

Revised and updated plans

Following a consultation evening held on 19 July 2024, revised and updated plans are now available to view.

The plans are the same as those shared in July 2024, but have more detail added as the design has progressed. They show the proposed new-build sports hall / classroom block, some internal refurbishment of existing rooms and external works.

There is also a new, unconfirmed, proposal to use the former Broadlands Primary School playing field as a temporary car park for staff whilst construction is undertaken.
