West Worcestershire MP Harriett Baldwin has been treated to a VIP tour of the new Pershore High School Humanities teaching block which is due to be used for the first time in the coming weeks. The MP was given the tour by headteacher Clive Corbett and the school’s business manager Russell Dalton during a visit to the school last week (March 18). The new classrooms are part of a £3.4 million project to improve facilities at the school. Harriett commented: “Only a couple of years ago, I joined Clive and Russell to start the demolition process on the antiquated teaching block and it is a huge pleasure to see this project come to completion. “The new facilities are stunning and I look forward to seeing them in use during the summer term. “I was pleased that Clive asked me to support the school’s bid to secure funding and the Government investment is sure to reap dividends for generations of students to come. “The school is also set to benefit from funds made available as part of the new house-building work in Pershore so there will be plenty more to celebrate in the next couple of years.” Clive Corbett added: “All associated with Pershore High School are delighted that the second phase of our building development is nearing completion. “Students will first use the new Humanities building on April 12 and it is a fantastic addition to the Art block that Harriett Baldwin opened in the autumn. I am very grateful to Harriett for her on-going support of the school.” Photo: Pershore High School’s headteacher Clive Corbett, Russell Dalton and Harriett Baldwin MP tour the new humanities block.
