MORE INVESTMENT PLANNED FOR BRIGG SCHOOL

More investment has been announced for Sir John Nelthorpe School, Brigg - this time for the Lower School site.
Planning permission is being sought from North Lincolnshire Council for the installation of 2.4m high close-boarded timber fencing to divide the playing field from what is called the inclusion unit to provide privacy, and also for metal fencing facing Wrawby Road - "creating an inviting frontage and more minimal boundary appearance."
This application is now being considered by local authority planners.
The Upper School site has already received improved access on its frontage facing Grammar School Road.
Approval has been given to replace windows and doors in the former boarding house, dating back to the 1870s, and for improved science provision within the main school building through internal alterations.
Permission has also been granted for partial refurbishment to form a new technology suite, including a new meeting room extension and entrance lobby extension, which includes demolishing some redundant buildings erected in the 1950s.
Part of the present Upper School is grade one listed, dating back to the the late 17th century - the only building in Brigg with this heritage category.
A decision is awaited from council planners on an application to erect a 'work of art' stone sculpture on a grassy area near the original school doorway.
