The Senior Leadership Team have just had an excellent meeting with a representative of Balfour Beatty, the company who will be constructing the new building.  We were discussing educational opportunities for collaboration during the build period.  These ranged from pupils being involved in the design of particular areas, a time capsule, work experience, apprenticeship opportunties, talks to classes, art work, environmental projects, a time lapse camera and careers talks.  There were ideas for pupils in almost every department to be involved.  Similarly, there will be opportunities for primary schools to share in these projects.  This was an exciting meeting with plenty of possibilities and in time for us to be ready when construction work does begin.
