Construction firm Galliford Try has been selected to replace of St Francis Catholic Primary School, part of the Mother Teresa Catholic Academy Trust on its existing site in South Ascot, Berkshire.

The scheme is under the Department for Education's (DfE) 2021 Construction Framework (Medium Value Band).

The new £11m school building will replace the existing teaching block and will include the relocation of the St Francis statue within the building and grounds. The design will also use building materials chosen to complement both the adjacent church and the surrounding woodland environment.
