School to get two new classrooms in £2.4m revamp
The school needed more space for pupils, the council said in 2024
- Published
A £2.4m primary school revamp has been approved with work expected to begin this autumn.
Herefordshire Council said consent was given to redevelop Hampton Dene Primary School, in Church Road, Hereford, which in 2024 the authority said was over-capacity.
The plans include two new classrooms so the school can offer extra spaces in the language and communication centre, for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities.
The scheme also features an improved parking area and outdoor spaces, the council said, adding that construction work was expected to be finished by summer 2025.
Councillor Harry Bramer said it was "a major step forward for education in Hereford".
He said the work at Hampton Dene school would provide "a safe, inspiring environment for students to thrive".
