The striking feature of the build this week has been the laying of the bricks on the west elevation of the site. By Friday afternoon the brickwork was already 4 / 5 layers deep and beginning to fill out the gaps between the steel girders. Students in the school are now asking me questions about what it will be like inside and they can see how impressive the size of the building is going to be.
The really good news is that on Sixth Form open evening on Thursday 4th November, 6.30 pm - 8 pm, the site Manager has confirmed that he will be able to give tours inside the build. By then the ground floor will be completed and work will have commenced on the first floor. This will provide a great opportunity for prospective students and their parents to see the extent of the facilities that will be on offer. Combined with the architect's drawings of the build, this will have a significant impact in terms of showcasing what will be on offer next academic year. I have also started to plan for (& buy!) the furnishings for the student social area. Smart, modern, comfortable and colourful to fit the light, airy nature of this environment.
