Funfishers has recently had a planning application for a much needed extension turned down by City of York Council and will appeal the decision. The architect has created a building that whilst sympathetic to the design of the original school is fit for the 21st Century and how our children learn and play.

The extension and refurbishment will give:

• Light, bright, large flexible spaces for all age range needs
• A new kitchen to provide a range of freshly made hot and cold meals
• A quiet area for older children at the incredibly popular after school club
• A wet area for fun and inventive messy play
• More affordable places for all age ranges at this well likedNursery and Out of School Club

Sadly in a very close vote some local Councillors felt the new design wasn’t sympathetic enough to the original architecture of the school and they won the day. However We, along with Fishergate School, York Civic Trust, York Conservation Area Advisory Panel, Councillor Dave Taylor and Robert Goodwill MP- to name but a few- feel, unlike them, that the public good for our children outweighs personal taste.

This appeal is our chance to turn that decision around for the good of our community and children.
