The Thomas Telford Primary Free School will be a new primary school at the centre of the Miller Homes East Priorslee residential development, on Castle Farm Way. It will offer two forms of entry each year and provide 420 primary school places as well as 26 nursery places.

The new school building will provide modern internal and external facilities to support a high-quality learning environment, which will be grounded in nature, and net zero carbon in operation. The development includes the following features: a two-storey school building, soft and hard external play areas, soccer pitches, multi-use games area, and a habitat area. The school’s roof would incorporate a ‘biodiverse selection’ of plants that will grow both around and in the shaded areas beneath roof-mounted solar panels. Solar canopies will also provide shelter and shade to a teaching area within the school site.
