Tendering has started after plans were given the green light to relocate a Warwick school to a new campus site as part of a £30m development plan.

The Warwick Independent Schools Foundation has drawn up plans to move the 600-pupil King’s High for Girls from its current town centre site to the campus on Myton Road where Warwick School and Warwick Preparatory School are already based.

The move will involve construction of a main school building, music building, a sixth form centre and improvements and an extension to the Bridge Sports Centre.

It is understood that Skanska and local firm Stepnell are chasing the project.

Work on the project is planned to take place in two phases, with a successful contractor expected to mobilise in August.

The first would focus on delivering the new King’s High School building with dedicated school hall and dining room as well as the new shared sixth form centre with Warwick School for social, careers and some study activities.

That would take two years, with completion scheduled for September 2019.

Work would then start on the improvements and extension to the sport centre and the new music centre.

The project is being managed by Arup, while Nicholas Hare Architects, London, has undertaken the master planning and design work.
