Staff and pupils at James Peacock Infant and Nursery 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 the school as part of Nottinghamshire County Council (NCC)’s School Building Improvement Programme.
The school now boasts new ceilings and lighting, as well as a replacement roof, insulation and external cladding, following work to upgrade the building’s infrastructure and improve energy efficiency.
A spokesperson said: “I was delighted to be given the opportunity to see the work which has taken place at James Peacock School and see how our significant investment is helping to transform learning environments for teaching staff and pupils.
“It was great to meet pupils and staff during our visit to find out more about the positive impact this fantastic project is having on the school community.
“We’re working tirelessly to invest in our children’s education and future, and projects like this reaffirm our commitment to ensuring every child in Nottinghamshire, no matter what their background, can study and learn in buildings which are fit-for-purpose.”
Arc Partnership, a joint venture between NCC and SCAPE, designed, delivered and cost managed the improvement scheme.
Headteacher, Hannah Cutts, said: “We’re delighted with the building renovations which have taken place over the last year.
“ARC worked so hard to make sure 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’re so grateful to have this work completed as part of the major improvement scheme at NCC.”
