Govt action urged to quickly finish fixing 'school time forgot'
Herald Express
|July 09, 2025
CHILDREN having lessons in temporary classrooms at the “school that time forgot” have been given a date when it will finally be finished.
But Torbay’s Liberal Democrat MP Steve Darling has pledged to chase the Government to make sure it keeps its promise.
He raised the problems faced by St Michael's Church of England Academy in Paignton in written questions to the education minister.
He said: “It really is the school that time forgot. The Government has been sitting on its hands, and that is not acceptable.
“The staff and the children need to see a clear way forward. They need the proper school they were promised.”
