School improvements complete

Work to improve primary and secondary schools in a part of west Cornwall has finished.

About £8m has been spent on the buildings in the Pool area.

The work is part of a private finance initiative, which aims to create more modern facilities in the area.

Pool School and Community College now has a new science laboratory, a multi-media suite and a design and technology room.

Nearly £1.5m has been used to create the new Pencoys School at Four Lanes, which replaces Nine Maidens and Carnkie schools.

Extra classrooms, a library and outdoor facilities have been built at Treloweth Primary School.

Work has also been carried out at Portreath and Rosemellion primary schools.
