A NORTH Yorkshire school will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a £1million investment to create six new classrooms.
Rossett School, in Harrogate, has been awarded a grant by The Academies Trust, and temporary buildings will be replaced with six new classrooms at a cost of £800,000.
Head teacher Pat Hunter said: “Given that the school is oversubscribed, they will provide essential accommodation for the pupils who are joining us in September. There’s also a growing demand for places in the sixth form, so extra space is going to be increasingly important over the next few years.”
The school’s old boiler will also be replaced with a modern, more efficient model, costing £200,000.
Work is expected to start before the summer holidays, and could take up to four months.
