Gloucestershire County Council’s cabinet has approved a £20m budget for the project and ratified Kier’s appointment as main contractor.
It will be an ‘all-through’ school for up to 200 primary and secondary pupils, built on land owned by the county council west of Alstone Croft in Cheltenham.
The site is a disused school playing field, previously allocated to the now closed St Benedict’s Catholic School.
Gloucestershire County Council also has plans for a new special school in Gloucester in 2026/27, which follows the establishment of a special school in Brockworth (September 2022) and Stroud (September 2023).
