A planning application has been submitted to Herefordshire Council to replace a classroom building at Weobley High School.

The proposal is to remove an ageing single-storey modular classroom and replace it with a two-storey modular unit.

The new block will measure around 360 square metres and provide four classrooms, pupil and accessible toilets, storage and improved facilities for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Located in Weobley, the school is managed by Herefordshire Council and is currently operating over capacity due to continued growth in its catchment area.

The new building will provide much-needed teaching and support space.

The replacement unit is currently in use at Peterchurch Primary School, where it is providing temporary accommodation while a new school is under construction.

Once the new Peterchurch school opens in autumn 2026, the modular building will be relocated to Weobley High School on a permanent basis.

Plans confirm the building will be positioned next to an existing two-storey school block.

The external finish will match the modern appearance of the campus, helping to preserve the visual character of the site.

An ecological assessment will be carried out before the removal of the old structure to minimise any environmental impacts.

Construction is scheduled to begin in autumn 2026, with completion expected by November of the same year.
