A Cockermouth school will be extended to allow for increased pupil numbers and more staff parking.

Cumbria County Council has agreed plans submitted by All Saints’ Primary School, off Slatefell Drive.

The school wants to extend an existing detached classroom block and the staffroom, which is part of the main building. It will create a link corridor between the two buildings and improve access to the school.

Pupil numbers are expected to increase in the future with the nearby 320-home development at Strawberry How.
