The first thing I did when I arrived at school on Tuesday morning was to visit the site and look around the progress. Most notable was the exterior of the build where the rendering is covering the front of the building and this makes it look more impressive and stylish. I spoke to the project manager this morning and we are now beginning to plan the colour scheme for the walls / blinds and carpets. He informed me that the yellow / blue windows will soon be redesigned as well. He is very happy with the progress of the build and says we are still on schedule for a July completion. This is great news.

On the inside the contractors have been continuing to plaster the walls and put up the frames for the doorways. With the under heating now in place the inside is beginning to look more completed and is no longer a skeleton or shell. I also saw the contractors working on the lift and there are plans afoot for the ICT connections we will need for our students.

Daily progress continues. The timetable is now written for next year and students here are very excited by the prospect of next year - as we all are. With the weather so lovely it really is a good time of year and everyone seems very positive and calm.

To all Year 11 students and my future Sixth Formers - good luck with revision over this long weekend. Keep up the good work and remember it will be worth it!!
