Another week closer to a new school building

The weekly photographs from the library window show that good progress continues on the construction site.  Too windy to open the windows in the English department, but the area for the new sports block is looking very different from seven days ago.  We had a useful open evening last week with a number of neighbours, families and friends of the school coming to look at the designs.  There was much positive comment.

Weekly Photographs

These are this week’s pictures from the library window.  The view from the Head Teacher’s office continues to be limited to painted hoardings.  Very good progress is being made.  The peat that had at one time threatened to cause delays has now been moved off site.  So far there has been little noise to be heard in the current building.  We are looking forward to showing off the designs at a drop in session 4.00 to 7.00pm Tuesday 19th April.  Staff from Moray Council, Balfour Beatty and EHS will be present to answer questions.  Parents and members of the public will be very welcome.

The start of a new term

The new term started this morning.  Pupils and staff returned to a very different school campus than the one they had left two weeks ago.  Very good progress has been made in preparing the site for the construction of the new build.  The top picture shows where the old garages used to be.  They have been cleared to make way for the PE block with a four badminton court games hall, gym and fitness suite.  After school on Tuesday 19th April will be an opportunity to view the plans for the new build and meet some of the staff involved with the project.  More details to follow soon.
