Temporary classrooms remain after expansion delay
Hoe Valley School in Woking has been using a temporary building in its car park

Sixth form students arriving back from the Christmas break will return to a temporary classroom for another term after delays to a school expansion.
Hoe Valley School in Woking, Surrey, has been using a single-storey building in its car park as a stopgap to accommodate students.
The measure was implemented while the school builds a new sixth form extension to the main school complex.
However, the work has been delayed and is now expected to be completed by 17 February.
To minimise disruption, Surrey County Council will consider a fresh planning application to keep the temporary class space until the Easter break, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Once the new extension is built, the temporary building will be taken down and the car park returned to its original state.
The temporary building only has planning permission until the end of the year, and the application to extend was submitted to Woking Borough Council on 16 December.
Woking Borough Council said it expected to determine the application by 13 January.
