Work to extend and improve City of York Council’s Carr Infant School has started.

Following a successful application to the government’s Priority School Building Programme, the Education Funding Agency (EFA) is starting work on new school for Nursery and Key Stage 1 children for which City of York Council is providing additional funding.

The success of the school has meant that over time it has grown in popularity and the demand for places has increased from its existing capacity of 240. The new building will be two storeys high with a capacity for 270 KS1pupils from Reception to Year 2, with each year group having three classes.

During construction, the school will continue to operate as usual with minimal disruption from the building works which will be securely fenced to keep the children as safe as possible. The work is expected to complete during the summer of 2016 and the new school will open for September 2016.
