A primary school where pupils were forced to paddle through raw sewage after a botched multi-million pound refurbishment is to be rebuilt by the government.
The Department for Education has today announced that Russell Scott Primary School in Denton has been provisionally selected for the next round of the school rebuilding programme.
It follows tireless campaigning by headteacher Steve Marsland and Denton and Reddish MP Andrew Gwynne who for years have been calling on the government to intervene at the school, which they say has been left unfit for children.
