Work is progressing well on a significant extension at Beaconside CofE Primary School, which will create additional school places and expand specialist provision for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
The scheme was approved by Westmorland and Furness Council following public consultation and is being funded through Section 106 developer contributions. These funds are provided by housing developers to ensure sufficient school places are available as local communities grow.
Construction remains on programme for completion in Spring 2027, with foundations finished and structural work well underway on both the Key stage 1 and 2 buildings.
Take a look at our summer works update to see how we’re building for the future at Beaconside School, enhancing learning, inclusion and opportunities for local children.
