School that is 'falling apart' set to be torn down and rebuilt

A Nottingham primary school deemed "no longer fit for purpose" could be torn down and rebuilt. The Department for Education has submitted plans to knock down Southglade Primary School's current building off Beckhampton Road, Bestwood, so it can be replaced by an improved structure and facilities.

Debora Madden, 66, from Bestwood, said: “The new building will be so much better for the kids, you could see that the old building is falling apart. Michael Clark, 82, from Top Valley, said: “I'm glad it’s staying on the same site, as the location is good, right in the middle of Bestwood. The DfE's construction contractors Bowmer + Kirkland have explained the new proposals are characterised by the "use of traditional brickwork and high-quality rainscreen cladding, in a confident and contemporary manner".
