Anyone know where this will be built as cannot find any reference in the article.

When we were looking in both 2011 and 2016 we were told that the school and health centre were planned on the land between the 2 golf courses 2nd hole on Fuerteventura golf and 17th on Las Salinas.  There is currently a big hole on this land.

The school has always been planned for the land between the 2 golf courses up near the Elba laundry.

Everyone will use private cars to take their children to school   So it won't be much different to the situation that exists now, where free buses take children to either the schools in El Matorral, Antigua or Triquiviate, or parents take them in private cars.

" In addition, the outdoor spaces provided for in the program of needs will be located within the plot: playground, primary playground, school garden, fighting ground, parking lots and covered sports court."

Crikey - what's a fighting ground?   For fisticuffs?

It's a ring for Lucha Canaria 'Canarian  wrestling'.  It was lost in the translation.

I thought it may be that, but just thought I'd have a little tongue in cheek moment!

Hi all. Newbee here to this forum!
Apologies for picking up on an old thread but wondered if anyone had any further information on this?
Been to the area recently and can see that construction work has now started.
Does anyone know when this will likely be finished and when enrolment can take place?
We're looking to make the move to fuerteventura from the UK and would be great if we could get our two girls enrolled.

Welcome to the forum Laurum.

The last I heard the completion date was March 2023, but, and I am not being cynical it will be a minor miracle if that is the actual completion date, but there is a school in Triquijiate, about a 10 minute drive from Caleta, and this is served by a dedicated school bus service, I am sure it will not be a problem, I have a couple of friends who moved here circa 3/4 years ago with a 9 year old daughter, she went there with out an issue, despite the language issue she thrived there, as will yours

Thanks John that's really encouraging to hear. 
My eldest is 9 and was a little concerned if I have left it too late for her to integrate ok.
We've been holidaying on the island for 20 years and finally decided to make the move, but with brexit now another obstacle I fear this may take some time.
The biggest concern was schooling for my 9 year old, its been quite tricky trying to find the enrolment process and timescales so that we can set some realistic goals re house/work etc.
Any links to good schools or sites would be welcomed.
