Staff and pupils at a Ruddington school are enjoying the benefits of a major improvement scheme to transform its facilities.
More than £2 million has been invested in a range of improvements at James Peacock Infant and Nursery School as part of Nottinghamshire County Council’s School Building Improvement Programme.
The school now boasts new ceilings and lighting, as well as a replacement roof and insulation and external cladding, following work to upgrade the building’s infrastructure and improve energy efficiency.
Arc Partnership, a joint venture between Nottinghamshire County Council and SCAPE, designed, delivered and cost managed the improvement scheme.
Headteacher Hannah Cutts said: “We are delighted with the building renovations which have taken place over the last year.
“When we first discussed the extent of the project, I was naturally quite apprehensive about how we would manage the process as well as continuing with our own school improvement schedule.
“ARC worked so hard to ensure that we become one team around the children.
“We now have ceilings and lighting which provide an excellent atmosphere for our children to enjoy their learning. Our heating and ventilation systems have really changed how our staff and children feel in the different areas of the building.
“We are so grateful to have been lucky enough to have this work completed as part of the major improvement scheme at Nottinghamshire County Council.”
