6°C Wed 24th Nov Leuven NEW EXTENSION CREATES 90 MORE PLACES AT BLEAK HILL PRIMARY SCHOOL 15/10/2021 / NEWS 1/4 NEW EXTENSION CREATES 90 MORE PLACES AT BLEAK HILL PRIMARY SCHOOL David Baines, Leader of St Helens Council, said: “Ian Wellens [former head teacher] has served Bleak Hill Primary School and the wider community with distinction and dedication for many years, and he leaves a lasting legacy. His legacy isn’t just the fantastic new classroom block, but it’s the brilliant staff, the school culture, and most important of all its hundreds of young people who have enjoyed a superb education here thanks to him and the whole school family. “Everyone with a connection to the school will miss Mr Wellens very much, but thanks to the foundations he’s laid and the example he’s set, we know the school will continue to go from strength to strength under Mrs Lawrenson and the fantastic staff team.” Councillor Kate Groucutt, Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Business added: “These new classrooms will allow more children to access a quality education at Bleak Hill – one of the top performing schools in the borough. As a council, one of our key priorities is to ensure children and young people have the best possible starts in life, and projects like this – as well as similar improvement works set for Penkford and Ashurst Primary School – are clear proof of our commitment.” John Shannon, divisional director at Seddon, said: Overall, the two extensions allow Bleak Hill Primary School to provide more children from the local area with access to high-quality teaching and learning environments where they can reach the best of their abilities. // Google Analytics Code has been added to cookiecontrol partial // // Is WebInsights still being used? // ANALYTICS Analytical cookies help us to improve our website by collecting and reporting information on its usage.
