Designed for energy efficiency, the modern facility will include eight classrooms, a special needs space, library, and music/drama room—with construction starting in August and completion targeted for next summer. Parents and staff are thrilled about the upgrade, which prioritizes safety and inspiration for students and teachers. While the old school stays open during construction, officials chose a full rebuild over costly repairs, funded through the council’s school place program, ensuring a future-ready learning environment for generations.
