PRAYERS AT THE FOUNDATIONS OF CORNERSTONE CHURCH OF ENGLAND PRIMARY SCHOOL, WHITELEY
It was an honour to join The Right Reverend Bishop Christopher Foster, The Lord Bishop of Portsmouth, for a short service at the foundations of the Cornerstone Church of England Primary School Whiteley and chapel space in today on a very windy aftenoon.
The new 630 place Church of England (Aided) primary school, designed and built by Hampshire County Council will be opening in September 2021 on its new site off Bluebell Way.
I was pleased to be joined by Flick Drummond the local MP and Cllr Roz Chadd Hampshire’s Executive Member for Education. This has been a long fight to get the school agreed for a suitable site and funding. It has also been a 30-year wait for Whiteley Church to finally get a permanent physical home. I hope that the children of Whiteley enjoy a really enriching education in the new buildings and that the parishioners of Whiteley Church find inspiration in their new surroundings.
