BBC News – No money to rebuild Blackpool special needs school
July 23, 2010
Children at a special needs school in Blackpool have been speaking of their sadness after losing out on money for a new building.
High Furlong School in Blackpool suffers from a number of problems, such as corridors not wide enough for wheelchairs to pass each other and a lack of adequate heating in some areas.
It was hoped that a new school would be built through the scrapped Building Schools for the Future programme, but pupils will now have to wait and see if any funds will be made available.

Same Difference 
As a former deputy head at Highfurlong School I fully support Highfurlong’s bid to get funding for a new building. It looks the same as when I was there over 18 years ago except everything is more delapidated.
I think the pupils have made a fantastic contribution to the news clip and would like to congratulate them.
Best wishes
