THS to spend £1.75M on new classrooms

After a number of previous unsuccessful bids, Tenbury High School has been awarded £1.25M from the Worcestershire County Council Capital Building Programme 2012/13.  A further £0.5M will come from the schools own reserves.

The money will allow the replacement of several temporary wooden classrooms with an 8 classroom teaching facility with additional seminar rooms, offices and toilets.

The project is currently at the planning stage and is due to start Easter 2012 for completion Spring 2013.

That's pretty impressive - always provided that the reserve was for a capital programme and not just money they were sitting on pending a rainy day!

For £1.75m I could build 20 houses. Why does a classroom cost more than a house?

It's not a 'classroom' it's an '8 classroom teaching facility with additional seminar rooms, offices and toilets'.
