Boost for Fitzwaryn

Excellent news for our local special school Fitzwaryn in Wantage who have received £2m for refurbishment. This is a long-awaited and much needed project which has been desperately overdue. Read the full story here.

Readers of my blog will recall my visit to the school at Christmas to see their wonderful production of 'Scrooge' and also the International award they received from the British Council. This is an outstanding school according to their latest OFSTED report and this boost to invest in their facilities is richly deserved. It was a real pleasure to attend the County Council's Cabinet today to support this decision which will benefit the children, parents, teachers and our community.

Praise must go to the efforts of the headteacher who has made such an huge impact on the development of the school. It was not so long ago that many of us feared for its future, but now the future is rosy with the prospect of more investment on the way, subject to the finances being available at the County Council.
