Wade will appoint staff and work with her new team to prepare the school for its first pupil intake. Mrs Wade said: “I am delighted to have been given
the opportunity to lead the development of Discovery Fossebrook Primary School as it takes its place in the local community. “My goal is to provide excellence in all areas of
primary provision for all pupils and families who make this their school of choice.” The single-storey school is being built by Wilmott
Dixon at Holmfield Avenue West, in Leicester Forest East, on land already owned by the council.

the addition of a glazed atrium as well as a new conference room on the building’s top floor. Mike Thorne, Director at Innes England, said: “Nelsons had been located at Sterne House for a long time but the building was in need of modernisation. Having looked carefully at the options they decided refurbishment would deliver what they were looking for.” Nelsons staff moved out in 2015 and will move back early this year.
