A HEADTEACHER has said her school would have to improve on a “shoestring budget” after the Building Schools for the Future programme was axed by the new Government.
As reported in last week’s Oxford Mail, Cheney School, in Oxford, along with Iffley Mead in the city, Abingdon’s Larkmead and Banbury School, were to get a share of £62m.
Cheney head Jolie Kirby, said: “It would have been great to have been able to redesign Cheney School fit for the 21st century, but we are going to do the best we can on a shoestring budget.”
County council school improvement cabinet member Michael Waine said individual capital grants could fund some improvements.
