Another good week of progress on the site.  The accommodation units are taking shape.  A tarred road has been created on the side of the site opposite the current building.  Eventually that will be the access road for deliveries, etc.  For the moment it will help with the construction work.

On Friday morning all EHS teaching staff spent time visiting local businesses.  We heard from employers about the expectations of people applying for jobs.  Recent appointees also spoke about what schools had done well to get them ready them for the workplace and what we could have done better.  A fascinating opportunity to reflect on how we can all respond to the Developing the Young Workforce agenda and better prepare pupils for life after school.  Many thanks to Jim and Bethany from Balfour Beatty for your honesty and insightful conversation.  It was very much appreciated.
