School to build extra classrooms

We are very pleased to announce that we have been successful in our application for planning permission to build four new classrooms. As you may be aware, the school has been working with George F. White and identified the Upper School as the first stage of a ten-year development plan to see the school upgrade its facilities and provide the best start for our children.

We recently applied to Harrogate Borough Council in order to build a single storey extension to the Upper School with the ability to accommodate four new state-of-the-art classrooms. This will ensure that we are in the best possible position in an attempt to limit class size numbers.

Chair of Governors, Sir Thomas Ingilby, said: “The fact that our planning permission has been accepted is wonderful news. Our recent success in the classroom has seen our popularity grow and we are keen to keep class sizes low. This news means we are able to provide the best possible investment we can make for our children and parents.”

“We are very pleased that we are in such a strong position in order to allow our children the ability to thrive and achieve during their time at Cundall Manor School.”

Plans will be on show in the Main Building from February with work likely to be completed for the start of the Michaelmas Term 2017.
