This afternoon, the text message came through that financial closure had been reached and that the contracts for the construction of the new building had been signed!  Well done to everyone involved.

Meanwhile, we were meeting representatives of Hubco and Balfour Beatty to agree arrangements for the turf cutting ceremony at 12.00pm on Wednesday 16th March.  If all goes to plan, Balfour Beatty will start turning the games fields into a building site on Monday 7th March.  We also discussed a series of briefing sessions for pupils about health and safety.  These should also take place on the 7th March.  Exciting times!  We can look forward to getting into the new building in October 2017.
