Government Approves Sir James Dyson's £6m Donation to Wiltshire Primary School

Funds to be used for STEM centre and additional classrooms, pending local authority approval for school expansion.

Sir James Dyson's £6 million donation to Malmesbury Church of England primary school in Wiltshire has been approved by the Government.
The donation will be used to build a centre for science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and arts, as well as additional classrooms.
The expansion is expected to be open from September 2027, if planning permission is approved by Wiltshire Council.
The approval is conditional on the local authority approving the school’s expansion before any building work can commence.
There are concerns about the impact that adding 210 additional places at Malmesbury Primary School could have on neighbouring schools.
