Three visits to the build

Visit 1 was for a small group of Year 10 students who have been very interested to see the new Sixth Form. Potentially they will be coming up to the Sixth Form in September 2012 and it was really good to see their amazed / positive reaction to the size of the facilities and also how impressed they were by it. They also asked me about entry requirements and I could see them beginning to raise their sights on their potential future.

Visit 2 was candidates for the Exams Assistant post. Again, they were all very impressed by the facilities and very keen to support the school and the students with their AS / A2 / Diploma examinations. Mrs Baker was offered the post and she is a very welcome addition to the staffing of the the Sixth Form and will become an integral part of the Sixth Form life and examinations.

Visit 3 was for the staff of our Learning Support Department. Again, they were amazed by the size of the rooms, the space of the common room and the magnificence of the cafeteria. Even though I see the build progressing regularly, it never ceases to impress me with the height of the ceilings, the large windows and the quality of learning space it will provide the forthcoming Sixth Form students.

I feel very honoured, and humbled, by the responsibility and also tremendously excited by the prospect of having my Sixth Form next year and being able to share with them such high quality facilities. I genuinely cannot wait for September 2011.
