The new school will have 720 places and represents a major re-organisation of Guernsey's education system.

It will replace St Sampson's secondary school, and help prepare for the redrafting of catchment areas when St Peter Port school shuts.

A separate special needs school will be built at the same site, taking pupils at Mont Varouf and Oakdale.

Members will be asked to give the go-ahead for building to start in the summer.
