Fir Bank Primary School – Nursery extension feasibility

The Oak Trust who operate Fir Bank Primary School has submitted a proposal to establish a nursery class to meet demand for pre-school places when the on-site, voluntary-run Fir Bank Playgroup closes due to the retirement of key personnel. The proposal is to establish a 30-place provision, housed in a new extension to the school building. This will extend the education offer to pupils between the ages of 3 and 11.
The proposal has received support from both the Cabinet portfolio holder for Children and Young People and the Education provision Group (21st September 2020)
It is important that a detailed feasibility exercise is undertaken in order to confirm project costs and project viability.
