Turf-cutting at Fitzwaryn

This morning I had the pleasure of attending the turf-cutting ceremony at Fitzwaryn Special School in Wantage. We all braved the artic winds to watch headteacher Barbara Harker lift the spade as the first cut was made. Children and staff were there along with the builders Rok who are to start work on a £2M extension for the school. This has been long-awaited by everyone and it will be good to see the improvements once they are completed at the end of next year. Read this press release to find out more about it. We are fortunate to have such an excellent school in our community which has been recently rated 'outstanding' by Ofsted for a second time.
