Bulmershe School transformation gets go ahead

Bulmershe School’s £6 million transformation is going ahead after planning permission was granted on June 11.

The project is being funded and managed by Wokingham Borough Council, in partnership with the school’s aims to further raise students’ aspirations and achievement.

A tendering process will now start to choose a contractor to carry out the works, which are expected to begin on site on a phased basis later this year.

It includes priority work on some existing buildings, significant refurbishment of existing classrooms, a post-16 learning centre, a remodelled library and information centre, an improved dining facility and an on-site student inclusion centre for the school.
