A Wirral primary school that launched a campaign for urgent refurbishment will receive vital government funds for a rebuild.
The Department for Education has confirmed that Riverside Primary School in Seacombe is one of 61 schools across the UK that will be part of the school rebuilding programme. More than 1,100 schools throughout the country were nominated.
In October 2020, part of the school building’s ceiling collapsed while issues have previously arisen with its heating and kitchen. In a bid to plea for government help, a social media campaign was set up, a petition issued online and a gofundme page managed to secure donations of more than £2,000.
