Concept

The proposed development is a new building and associated landscape areas, which together with the existing Wormholt Library building will accommodate the ARK Conway Primary Academy. The new building will provide the infant school (Early years and Years 1 & 2) and central facilities such as the main reception and halls. The junior school will be housed in the former Wormholt Library and Welfare Centre. The proposed development forms one of the first sixteen new schools unveiled by Education Secretary Michael Gove, which play a key part of the Government education reforms to introduce ‘Free Schools’.
