Mayor visits Marish Primary pupils and new school buildings
The Mayor of Slough Cllr Avtar Kaur Cheema and the Mayoress Cllr Harpreet Cheema visited the children of Marish Primary School to attend two prize-giving assemblies, and take a site tour of the new Special Educational Needs school site.
The prize-giving followed a competition run by the contractor GPF Lewis for the best poster reflecting on the children’s recent site visit. The posters will be displayed on the hoardings of the school site.
The contractor GPF Lewis – Martin Fry (Construction Director) and his team – generously gave gifts of books to the seven runners up and a family ticket to Legoland to the overall winner Olivia Bogdanova.
The extension includes six classrooms, a sensory and therapy room, multipurpose hall, full serving kitchen and outdoor play areas. The project started on site in April and is due for completion in February 2020. This represents a £4m investment in the school as part of Slough Borough Council’s continuing investment in school buildings.
The Mayor of Slough, Cllr Avtar Cheema, said: “I know this project is very special to everyone and that you and your teachers are looking forward to moving into the new classrooms and using the new facilities early next year which includes your new play areas, sensory rooms, and kitchen and dining facilities.
“On behalf of the council, I would like to say thank you to the project team for working hard to deliver such a high quality building. I know the school is very grateful for the generous gift of their new shed from GPF Lewis and for them painting the hall as a gift for everyone.”
Gill Denham, Headteacher at Marish Primary School, said: ““Marish Primary School pupils and staff were thrilled to have the Mayor of Slough, dressed in full regalia, visit and present prizes in a special assembly this week.
“The children were especially impressed that she and the Mayoress, looked so beautiful, Christmassy and in Marish red! We look forward to welcoming them back, when the building is complete.”
