This is an exclusive report from three school pupils who will be\u00a0pupils in the new school, but not for long when it is finished. They will be presenting their facts and argument on the environmental effects of this new campus giant. Many people strongly object to where the new school will be built, and we will look more deeply into this matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

Firstly, Cumnock Academy and Auchinleck Academy are certainly not new buildings. In fact Cumnock Academy itself was first used as an academy in 1969. We believe that actually building four new buildings for Greenmill, Barshare, Cumnock Academy and Auchinleck Academy would be much more efficient, eco-friendly and less costly that building a new campus costing billions of pounds. This is partly because there is a major problem with the location of this new campus. Some people say that the location (Broomfield running track and rugby\/football pitches) is for the best and it will be the most eco-friendly place for the campus. Some teachers we interviewed over this matter have said that because they are not local themselves, the location does not impact them greatly at all. However, this was not the case with one long-term teacher at Cumnock Academy, who was concerned with the traffic and environmental effects of the new school being where it is planned to be. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“I would be concerned about the traffic around Broomfield. I think there will be a lot of pollution from cars. I think this would be a massive shame for Broomfield.\u201d While being interviewed,\u00a0the teacher\u00a0also revealed that the new school being built will very probably have complications with classes in the Physical Education department. She suspects that although there are meant to be extensive playing grounds and outdoor areas, there will always be classes outside, even in the colder months. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>There is one thing that many people do agree on though. The number of pupils expected to be in the new school is rather alarming for some teachers. The majority of teachers have said that they don\u2019t like the number of pupils. Even with split areas for different year groups in the school, the amount of pupils mean that teachers will have bigger classes and longer hours of teaching. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
