Work updating the front of a school in Sandbach is set to be take place in the last week of June next year.

Sandbach High School and Sixth Form College was awarded around £1million of funding from the DfE's Condition Improvement Fund (CIF) 2022/2023.

The school has used part of the money putting on a new roof and the rest is being used to install state-of-the-art windows at the front of the Middlewich Road school.

Headteacher, Ellen Walton said: "So much brilliant work goes on inside the school we want to make sure the front reflects this.

"We have to wait until this part of the school is vacated to do the work which will be the last week of June.

"It will totally transform the front of the school and has thermal glass to keep the warmth in during the winter.

"The fins at the front will retract heat during the summer when the sun is on the building. We're so excited about the project."
