Two New Schools to Come for Drury
- Tuesday, October 27, 2026
The first of two new schools is planned to open in 2028.
With residential growth in Drury accelerating, the Government is supporting growth in Franklin by progressing plans for a new primary school located in Feldspar Crossing.
Auckland Council forecasts more than 25,000 new homes in Drury East, supporting a future population of approximately 60,000. To meet this growth, a 3.2-hectare site has been identified as a location for the school and funding has been allocated by the Government for land purchase.
Construction is also set to begin on a new specialist school in Drury, the first to be built in New Zealand in 50 years. Expected to open its doors in early 2028, the specialist school will feature off-site-manufactured classrooms for up to 54 students. It will be purpose-built for pupils with high and complex needs.
