At last! After many years of campaigning, huge amounts of patience and countless meetings

the ‘One School-One Site’ project has the green light to go ahead. Following Thursday’s Lancashire Locals Meeting, in true Thunderbirds fashion, ‘all systems are go!’ for this Ł3.7 million new buld.

Bulding work is due to commence during the October half -term week and is expected to last

approximately a year, with expected opening of the new school in January 2010. The bulding

work will all take place at Linden Drive and will involve changes to the front of the school, road

alterations and the bulding of new Key Stage One, Reception and Nursery facilities. .

In recognition of European Languages Day we held a ‘French Day’ on Friday 26th September.

During this school year, all the chidren at Linden Drive wil have the chance to follow a structured

curriculum in French, but the children on both sides had the opportunity to experience an enjoyable day in which they learnt about the French language and culture through a variety of interesting

and varied activities.

This is an exciting opportunity to develop a school fit for the 21st century, education that will leave a legacy of excellent educational provision for generations of children in Lostock Hall.
