Plans for a new school and community centre in Trumpington have been unveiled.

It'll be built next to the park and ride site to cater for families moving into the new homes in the south of Cambridge.

The new school, which is due to open in September 2012 will cater for 420 pupils. It will operate as a federation with Fawcett Primary School and share an executive headteacher and governing body.

The design of the building will feature the use of renewable energy, natural ventilation, recycled water and solar-heated water.

It will also serve as a community centre, with Early Years provision, two community rooms and shared use of the school hall.

A public exhibition is being held today (Monday 16 May) so people can find out more.

It's happening between 2pm and 8pm in the Pemberton Room at the Cambridge Professional Development Centre in Foster Road, Trumpington, which is adjacent to Fawcett Primary School.
