Inspiring stories about school projects that make a difference. Can you solve the problem of lack of teaching space without the help of LEA funding? Lanlivery Primary School in Cornwall did just that. They raised the funds themselves, helping to build a new classroom for their reception and Key Stage 1 pupils. They have become an inspiration to other schools up and down the country. The headteacher of the school and its chair of governors were determined to have a new classroom to improve conditions for the pupils. This meant taking a calculated risk, working extremely hard and getting the whole community to help. Now they are the proud owners of an environmentally-friendly classroom that was voted winner of the RICS 2004 Award for Sustainability.
