A significant upgrade is on the horizon for Ashfield Park Primary School in Ross-on-Wye after securing £663,000 for a comprehensive revamp. Planning permission for the school's remodeling and extension was granted a year and a half ago, but funding confirmation has now set the project in motion. The financial support for this initiative comes from developers of larger schemes under section 106 agreements, specifically from companies behind two housing developments near the A40.
S C Joseph Ltd of Hereford has been appointed to oversee the improvements at Ashfield Park Primary School. The work is slated to commence in March and is expected to be completed by August this year. This development promises to enhance the educational infrastructure significantly, benefiting students and staff alike.
In parallel, Much Birch Church of England Primary School, located between Ross-on-Wye and Hereford, is also set to undergo essential repairs and renovations. The council has approved an additional £165,414 from its own funds to repair the school's roof. This school will also see the construction of a single-storey extension, aimed at improving accessibility for visitors and parents. The extension will ensure that visitors can enter the school without traversing the playground during school hours, enhancing safety for the students.
The funding for these initiatives highlights a commitment to education and community development in the region. It underscores the importance of maintaining and enhancing educational facilities to provide a conducive learning environment for children.
