ROCHDALE’S primary schools are in line for a multi-million-pound overhaul over the next five years.

Two schools – Heybrook and Lowerplace – could be demolished and rebuilt as part of the £23.75M scheme.

   in response to ya know its right, rochdale

the reason why the school has an all asian student population is that it is based in a maninly asian area. there are schools that i know of that have all white students and again its because they are close to mainly white areas.

whats the make up of the students got anything to do with replacing the school anyway.

come on people.

   As a former pupil of Lowerplace, I would be quite upset to see the building torn down and rebuilt.

Yes, I agree that it needs to be modernized however, the building itself holds a local heritage which is something people from the area hold in high regard.

I say modernize the facilities to bring the school into the 21st century but leave the structure intact.
