| Updated: 16:52, 02 February 2021
Work on the new home of Newarkâs Christ Church Primary School is progressing at pace at the growing neighbourhood of Middlebeck.
The main steel structures of the facility are now in place thanks to construction forging ahead through 2020.
Work began on designs for the building in 2017 and, once the first phase is complete, it will feature seven classrooms, a library, main and small hall, commercial catering kitchen, respective administrative functions, and outdoor facilities.

Great Hollands Primary School (Bracknell) Speaking in a video on the trust’s website, Angie Morrish, chair of trustees at the Berkshire School Trust, and Angharad Brackstone, CEO of BST, have outlined the reasoning behind the plans. Ms Morrish said the last year of coping with Covid-19 has enabled the trustees to spend time considering the future of BST and realise their financial vulnerability. Ms Brackstone said the trust has been working very closely with Maiden Erlegh Trust in the past year and both trusts recently concluded that combining the two trusts would create an “effective and successful partnership for the future”.
