The £3.6 million will provide a new build block of 8 classrooms for Key Stage 2 pupils as well as a new assembly hall and administration facilities linked to the existing classrooms block where Key Stage 1 pupils are taught. The project includes demolishing the entire old KS2 block and landscaping the area. The steel frame of the newbuild is now complete and construction of the external walls and steel sheet roofing will shortly commence. Completion estimate: in time for September 2011 term.
Head Teacher Anne Bull said, “Everyone at the school is delighted at seeing the new teaching blocks emerge in front of their eyes. The pupils are really interested in seeing the shape of their school change day by day and took an active part in a construction themed art and design competition in association with Midas, the building company.”
