Planning permission and building regulations have been granted for an extension to the extisting school building to incorporate a new entrance, cloak room,
inside toilets, reception, office, kitchen staffroom and medical room.
We hope to commence the build in the summer of 2011.
The school has support from the Parish council and other village groups.
Professionals from the community with essential skills have volunteered to support and guide the project.

An artist impression of the new build
Moderning the toilets is just one part of the plan – This poem of written by a pupil sums up our situation.
Pause a while and spare a thought,
For this school where children are taught.
Some parts are old and need updating,
Knocking down, building up, plastering then painting.
Built a long, long, long time ago,
These toilets really have to go.
In the winter when it’s freezing to sit,
We don’t like it one little bit.
In the rain we have to make a dash,
but to build a roof we need more cash!
Art, plants, jumble and cakes,
We sell it all for the money it makes.
Sponsored climb, bike, swim and hike
It’s all for this school we like.
To make us use these loos is cruel,
Please help us improve our little school.
