Bishop Monkton Church of England Primary School has submitted plans to build a new permanent classroom.

The new structure would replace a temporary unit at the school that would be demolished.

Planning documents submitted to North Yorkshire County Council say the 134 square metre classroom would provide a more accessible and inclusive environment for pupils.

The village school currently has around 100 pupils.

Documents say:

“The new classroom unit will provide modern teaching environment and a much-needed space for the needs of the existing pupils providing them with a more suitable means of access and teaching environment.”

A decision on the proposal will be made at a later date.
