Andrew Mitchell’s first visit of 2023 was to Sutton Park School (formerly Banners Gate) in New Oscott, where he met head teacher Lucy Middleton and deputy head, Emily Dunnge, to talk about the school’s impressive achievements and the exciting changes afoot.
I am delighted to announce that four schools in the Royal Town - Bishop Walsh Catholic School, Little Sutton Primary School, Sutton Park Primary and Walmley Infant school - have been selected to be rebuilt or substantially refurbished as part of the fourth round of the Government’s School Rebuilding Programme.
I was honoured this week to take part in the official opening of a memorial garden at Plantsbrook School in memory of student Louis Watkiss, whose tragic death last year provoked such an outpouring of sympathy and sadness across the Royal Town.
