Proposals have been put forward for new extensions at St Andrew’s C of E Primary School in Leasingham, Baston C of E Primary School and South Hykeham Community Primary School.

The new buildings will replace existing mobile classrooms, providing a much better learning environment for the pupils. Planning applications for the improvements at Leasingham and Baston have now been submitted, with one for South Hykeham to follow in September. If approved, work is expected to begin at all sites in spring 2024, with each project completed in time for the autumn term next year.

Cllr Mrs Patricia Bradwell OBE, executive member for children’s services, said: “One of the council’s priorities is ensuring all children get a good education, and that means making sure local pupils have the right environment in which to learn. These extensions will provide improved facilities for the pupils, helping them make the most of their time at school.”

Members of the local community can learn more about the plans at upcoming information-sharing events being held at the schools. These will take place on the following dates:

  • St Andrew’s C of E Primary School, Leasingham, 3.30pm to 6.30pm, Monday 18 September
