Longvernal Primary School is likely to gain an extra classroom, with a decision due by B&NES to remodel existing facilities.

With delays to plans for the new Midsomer Norton Primary School, now proposed for Silver Street, Longvernal accepted a one-off ‘bulge’ reception class of thirty places last September.

It will now need work to accommodate the children for the next seven years.

It is likely to cost £672,000, with all money coming from S106 contributions and will take the school up to a capacity of 175 pupils.
