Work costing over £200,000 set to be carried out to improve a primary school in a Harborough district village

Work costing over £200,000 is set to be carried out to improve a primary school in a Harborough village.

The ambitious scheme will go ahead at Church Langton C of E Primary School next year if it gets the green light.

A mobile classroom will be replaced, an extension built and a new office and storage area created at the school if the blueprint is backed by Harborough District Council.

The £227,000 initiative is to be bankrolled by the school’s Learn Academies Trust after it was handed over £1 million from the Government’s ‘Condition Improvement Fund’.

The project to overhaul and upgrade the school, which has about 200 pupils aged from 4-11, is due to be considered by Harborough council’s planning committee in the New Year.
