Notts-based architects Rayner Davies has been working on plans for a new classroom and multi-purpose room worth £250,000 at St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School in Colwick.

The new buildings, currently in for planning, will create more space for existing pupils, with the multi-purpose room offering space for teaching assistant and special needs groups and extra curricular activities at the school.

The extra development will feature a wooden clad building at the front entrance of the school. This is phase one of proposed plans, with phase two also in prospect - which would see a link to a main building and another extension.

Rayner Davies started on the project in April, Jonathan Bramley of Rayner Davies said: "We are hoping that planning will be granted for this project, it's a great opportunity for development at the school and will provide more useful space for the current pupils."

Headmaster Chris Belton said about the project: "We are really pleased with the proposed plans for the new building and feel it will provide much needed space for all the staff and pupils. The multi-purpose room will allow us to have a variety of extra curricular activities and hobbies taking place at the school - and overall more to offer the children. We are excited about the opportunities for all at the school."
