The permanent extension are now complete but the council wants to retain the temporary classrooms. Council officer Connie Davis said: “The reasoning for this is that the continued additional space is required by the school due to the Covid-19 pandemic, to ensure that they are compliant in terms of safety, and to comply with school forecasting, as the school needs to ensure it has five per cent floating capacity available to provide accommodation to students should the need arise.” Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the school is using the additional space to allow for greater separation distances between pupils during the pandemic.
