Wootton Lower School Extension Site Underway as Bedford Borough Averts National Places Crisis
Last week, the week in which the extent of the national crisis in primary school capacity was revealed, the ceremony took place to mark the start of work on other school building project in Bedford Borough. A brand new extension site of Wootton Lower School is being constructed off Fields Road, in Wootton, and will cater for the housing growth caused by the new development there.
The new build serves is another example of the targeted investment and strategic planning which has enabled Bedford Borough Council to avoid a shortage of lower and primary school places, despite a growing population.
Mayor Dave Hodgson joined Wootton Lower School pupils and teachers to look at the site and talk about the new building, and to formally mark the start of construction works.
