PLANS for a major overhaul of seven Bolton schools will go on show at a series of open evenings starting tomorrow.

Each school in the first phase of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme will show their plans to students, parents and the wider community during a series of 90-minute drop-in sessions.

Ladybridge High and Rumworth Special schools, which will share a site as part of their refurbishment, will start the open days tomorrow night with a session specifically aimed at the wider community.

Sessions will also follow on Wednesday, March 17, for Ladybridge pupils’ parents and on Thursday, March 25 for Rumworth parents.

Open sessions for parents and the community will be held at Bolton Muslim Girls School on Thursday, March 4; Westhoughton on Tuesday, March 9; Little Lever on Tuesday, March 16; Smithills on Thursday, March 18 and Sharples on Tuesday, March 23.

Each open evening runs from 7pm to 8.30pm and will provide people with the opportunity to find out more about the plans and also have their say on the ideas put forward by each school.

Bolton will receive almost £83 million to refurbish and rebuild secondary schools, as part of the first phase over the next three years.
