Mr Shindler should get his facts straight about funding for the new Hinguar School (May 25).

The school will cost approximately £6.8million to build. Grants from the Government and contributions from the school and Gladadale amount to just over £3million the balance of nearly £4million has been financed from the council’s capital programme.

When the new school is built the proceeds from the sale of the site will be credited to the council’s capital account.
