PLANS to build a new reception area and head teacher's office at Ferndale Junior School go to consultation next week.

Swindon Council officers will be in the main hall of the youth centre in Southbrook Street between 10am and 8pm on Thursday for residents and parents to drop in and discuss the proposals.

Neighbours of the school in Wiltshire Avenue will also be leafleted.

The scheme incorporates a new IT and reception area, administration offices and three replacement teaching areas.
