The primary school, being built to serve families living on the new St John’s Grange housing estate and the south of Lichfield, is set to provide 420 places for pupils when it opens.
Members of the county council’s Property Sub-Committee approved the transfer of the site to the authority from developer Persimmon Homes at their August meeting.
The council is then due to lease the school to an academy or trust and it could open to pupils in September 2025.
