New teaching block to be built at historic Wolverhampton school site
One of Wolverhampton’s oldest schools has been given the go-ahead to demolish four existing buildings to make way for a single teaching block as part of a new redevelopment programme.
St Peter’s Collegiate Academy in Compton Park, Wolverhampton, was this week granted approval for the construction of a new U-shaped three-storey facility as part of the the Department for Education’s (DfE) new school rebuilding programme, announced in late 2020.
Formerly St Peter’s Collegiate School, the institution was established in 1844 and maintains strong links with St Peter’s Church in the city centre.
It converted to academy status in 2012 and joined Three Spires Trust in 2021.
