Fareham school ‘delighted’ with £4.4m investment creating quality learning environment

St Francis School accommodates 103 pupils aged from four to 19 years old with severe and profound learning disabilities. The school has undergone a £4.4m investment to deliver four new classrooms, a library, an immersive technology room and new hygiene facilities in the main building, as well as new hygiene facilities in Jo Collett House, where post-16 pupils are taught. In addition, there have been significant internal refurbishments in the main school to create a quality learning environment.

Rachel Weldon, executive headteacher, said: ‘We are absolutely delighted with the improvements made to our existing buildings and the additional rooms from the expansion. St Francis School is now a light, bright and airy space where pupils and students can experience high quality learning. We are very grateful to the county council for providing the funds to transform our school.’
