with the end result of the schools. We look forward to a
long and successful relationship with our partners
Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council and the schools.

Families, Linda Burgess.

huge boost in continuing to improve education standards
in Barnsley. I would like to thank Carillion for its
hard work and enthusiasm so far, and the council is

relationship that will prove of great benefit to the
children in the Borough.”
