THE best primary school in the county is consulting over changes to make the learning experience even better.

Tattenhall Park Primary School wants to redesign its use of space to cope with an increased number of pupils which means one class currently has to be taught in a corridor.

Given the school is low on the list of priorities for investment from the Cheshire West and Chester Council local education authority, it is envisaged the school must draw on its own resources.

The governors’ preferred option is to convert the room currently used as a library into a classroom to create a quiet, reflective space which would be of particular benefit to children with special needs.

The library, which is also open to the community, would relocated into a vacant caretaker’s house within school grounds.

Other options are to do nothing and continue lobbying for funds or to convert the library into a classroom but risk losing a valued service in the village.

Councillors at the monthly Tattenhall Parish Council meeting backed the preferred option of the governors.

Cllr Patricia Black, who is also chair of governors, said: “We have a number of classrooms which are unsuitable for various reasons and we need to move the children in those classes into better space to improve their learning and give them the best possible opportunities in life.”

Cllr Black said the Library Service was willing to discuss a possible relocation.

Parish chairman Cllr Graham Spencer, also a governor, said the long term plan aimed to ensure the school retained its position as the best in the county and seventh best in the country.
