What is the Seva School Capital Programme?
The Seva School capital programme (or referenced as Seva School expansion) is the delivery of one all-through school campus that will provide educational facilities for pupils in Reception to year 11.

Timings and key milestones
The capital programme is estimated to take 2.5 years to fully deliver. The time for delivery must take into account that Seva is a live school, and the works will have to be phased to ensure education delivery is unaffected. The phased work will mean that elements of the site become operational and handed over to the school at key milestones. The table shows some of these key milestones, but we must stress they are subject to change:
Impact on School
As the school is a live environment, we must ensure the quality of good education is maintained whilst the capital programme is being delivered. The work will impact us all and we will need to work together as a team. The school will need to be responsive to requests of the capital programme, which may result in the following:
-
Temporary traffic management plans (pupil drop off and pick up)
-
Changes made at short notice
-
Temporary amendments to the school day where necessary
As always, we will aim to give pupils/parents as much notice as possible prior to any changes. There may be inconvenience caused at times and we request you work with us to minimise the impact of these. Your support whilst the expansion is delivered will be much appreciated. These short-term disturbances will provide our pupils with the long-term facilties and support they deserve.
Community Use Facilities
As part of our planning approval, we have secured the agreement to hire out specific facilities out of school hours. This will include the hiring of the 3G sports pitches, 2 multi use games areas (MUGA’s), indoor sports hall and the Diwan Hall.
We are currently in process of developing how the community use hiring of our facilities will operate and the associated costs. If you do have an initial interest, please get in touch by emailing bookings@seva.coventry.sch.uk
