Work to rebuild two of Leicester's secondary schools is to start. The project is costing £47.5 million and will benefit Crown Hills Community College in Evington and City of Leicester in Spinney Hills.

It marks the next phase of the Building Schools for the Future programme to update and improve secondary schools in the city.

Staff, students and various partners including Miller construction will attend the first day of the rebuild.

It's hoped the schools will open next year.
