A Herefordshire Council spokesperson said: “To minimise disruption to learning, the roofing works will start at the end of the summer term and are estimated to last for 12 to 16 weeks.
“At this stage there are no plans to relocate pupils.”
Central Roofing and Building Services has been awarded the contract for both following successful tenders to the council.
The council said that by not carrying out the roofing works, the schools risk incurring further costs.
