Issue 40 — February 1998

School to expand

St Barnabas First School is set to expand in response to rising demand. New housing developments on the station site and at Oxford Waterside will increase the numbers of school-age children. The other local school, 'Phil & Jim's' in Leckford Road, has no room to grow.

The first phase in March will extend the infant classrooms where Miss Matthews and Mrs Magnani teach. But the school also has a further £150,000 for additional development. The plans for this development have yet to be finalized and work is unlikely to start before September.

Another recent improvement at the school has been the creation of disabled access through the main entrance. This will not just help the children (one of whom uses a wheelchair) but also groups who use the school hall in the evening. In the near future the tree in the school field will also have a seat around it.
