A £5M project which will see the creation of two brand new specialist schools in Cumbria is now set to get underway. Cumbria County Council s cabinet yesterday gave its assent to the awarding of a construction contract for the creation of the two schools, in Carlisle and Barrow. The alternative provision schools, to be built by contractors Roland Hill, will cater to young people who, for academic, social, emotional or mental health reasons, do not thrive in a mainstream school setting. The school set to be built in Carlisle will be housed at the bottom of Edgehill Road in Harraby, on the site most recently used as a car park for Newman School prior to its relocation in September.
