Community Consultation

Hallam Fields Primary School was selected by Leicestershire County Council to increase the number of pupils on roll to meet the needs of the local community. To accommodate this growth in pupil numbers, the Local Authority plan to fund the construction of an extension to the current school building, to be project managed by Lionheart Educational Trust. 

The aim is to increase each year group by 30 pupils/1 class, starting with Foundation Stage only in 2026, growing year-on-year until the 2032-33 academic year. 

However, before a planning application is submitted, Hallam Fields Primary and Lionheart Educational Trust, together with Leicestershire County Council, are entering a community consultation period through which we welcome your views. Please note that giving a response to the consultation is entirely optional.  

If you wish to learn more and/or provide feedback, you can: 

• Read the consultation flyer which offers a form link for your response, or 
• Attend a drop-in event on Thursday 10th April 2025, between 3:30-7pm, at Hallam Fields Primary School, Long Meadow Way, Birstall LE4 3LL
