Village school gets £200k classroom

Pupils and teachers will start the new school year at Burton Salmon Community Primary School with a new classroom.

Work has just been completed on a £200,000 scheme which will transform the space available in the school, situated in a small village in the Selby district.

There was limited space in one of the previous classrooms and its conservatory extension made controlling the temperature difficult.

This structure has now been demolished and the new classroom includes a disabled toilet and space for a cloakroom and storage.

Headteacher Adam Blackwood:

“In these times of savage cuts to education spending we were thrilled to be able to secure funding for the project and even more thrilled to see the final results.

The new classroom represents the biggest expansion to the school in over one hundred years of its history and we will certainly be putting it to good use.”

The work was funded by North Yorkshire County Council.

Cllr Patrick Mulligan, Executive Member for Education and Skills:

“We are delighted to have been able to support this work, which will provide major benefits for the school.”
