Berrow Primary Church Academy in Somerset will now have a sparkling renovation of all their classrooms and communal areas after the £600,000 funding news.

The money will ensure the children are provided with the best possible learning environments which will also involve the upgrading of their electrical infrastructure, heating and water supplies and toilet refurbishments.

The funding boost comes from their successful securing of a Department of Education Strategic School Improvement Capital Funding grant as well as funding from The Priory Learning Trust.

Headteacher Charlotte Bradley said: “We are delighted with this outcome, it is a fantastic opportunity for our school.''

“This is an exciting time for Berrow and this money will allow us to improve our learning environments to ensure our children learn in safe, secure places where they can truly flourish.”

The funding boost follows news last month of the school’s glowing SIAMS report with Inspectors praising the school for their vision and modelling of ‘Lighting up a love of learning to have life in all its fullness’ and that it 'aspires pupils to fulfil their dreams.''

The improvement work will commence on 1st April and will continue with the view to completion by 31st October.
