New School: Under Construction
Alan Dein follows a year in the life of a new primary school just outside Peterborough. As building work continues, will it open on time and will there be enough pupils?
To kick off the new series of Lives in a Landscape, Alan Dein presents a two part special following a year in the life of a new primary school just outside Peterborough - from initial construction to the end of the third term.
For headteacher Jackie Ashley, the opening of St Michael's Church School will be the culmination of her life in teaching and probably her last role before retirement. She's keen to see the school grow to its full capacity of 210 pupils under her leadership.
But as building work continues, there are concerns it may not open its doors on time and Jackie only has five children confirmed to start in September.
Producer: Laurence Grissell.
