FROM SARAH HOWE, NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL
Through a grant from North Lincolnshire Council, Sir John Nelthorpe School has benefited from £1m worth of improvements.
Phase one was completed in 2016 and included an upgrade of the heating system in Block B in the main admin/science/IT/drama and music block on the upper school site. This included new gas boilers, pipework and radiators throughout which addressed the heat distribution issues that the school was experiencing. The work also included a full re-wire to the block – upgrading wiring, lighting and new suspended ceilings.
Phase two work finished in September this year and included an upgrade of the heating system in Block D, Old Boarding House, which is currently used for teaching maths. This included new boilers, pipework and radiators and addressed heat distribution issues within this block. Work also included a full re-wire, upgrading wiring, lighting and new suspended ceilings.
In addition, roofing work was carried out at the lower school site and a new roof on Block B at the upper school site. This was completed in September this year.
Block B is Grade I listed and the building surveyor worked alongside the council conservation officer to ensure that the correct materials were used.
Cllr Rob Waltham, leader, North Lincolnshire Council, said: "This is a major investment in the school and is part of our scheme to improve school buildings across North Lincolnshire. In total, we are investing around £14m to improve schools in the next few years.
“The vast majority of children in North Lincolnshire attend a good or outstanding school and it is important that they have quality buildings in which to learn.”
Robert Biglands, Headteacher at Sir John Nelthorpe School, said: "We are delighted to be receiving the support to upgrade key aspects of the School’s infrastructure. Sir John Nelthorpe School is highly regarded in the community as a high-performing school with traditional family values at its core. The improvement works described above have attracted even more families to join our community with our year group intake increasing at a rapid rate.”
The money was awarded through the council’s Capital Maintenance Grant.
