Tettenhall College has drawn up plans for the work, which include the renovation of historic buildings, and expects the major construction to begin within the next 18 months.

The independent school hopes a new floodlit artificial turf pitch will bring a centre of excellence for hockey in the West Midlands, with energy efficient heating and lighting to be installed.

A new tennis and netball area are also planned, as well as a multi-use games area, high ropes facility, and a mountain bike trail – the school grounds cover 33 acres.

Early stages of the work have already started with work being done to modernise the swimming pool and a revamped school reception was completed over the summer.
