Week 30, Friday the 27th of November 2009.
OVERVIEW.
On the 5th of May, work began on our latest project, a seven-classroom teaching block. This new building is designed to accommodate our increased Sixth Form numbers, and is funded by the Learning and Skills Council. The total cost of the building is £1.5 million, and is scheduled for completion in December 2009. This is the latest in a long line of improvements to our accommodation, all designed to ensure that your children have the best possible learning environment.
This page is a record of the building progress and will record the step-by-step development of this exciting project to completion. This page will be updated every week or fortnight depending on progress.

Lots of pictures this week. All in all everything is coming along very well and the interior is starting to look really good. With only two weeks to go before the 'official' completion, the race is on. Come on Lads!
