When the first piece of turf was dug out at the top of the school drive, our new block seemed a long way away. We all watched it grow with interest, through all weathers until towards the end of June the keys were finally handed over. INSET day on 29th June saw a multitude of staff carrying boxes and furniture over to the new building to get it ready for the students’ return on 2nd July. And it was!
The new “C” block houses a brand new school reception and visitors’ waiting area, together with nine new classrooms allocated to English, Modern Foreign Languages and Religion, Ethics and Philosophy. Staff and students are enjoying working in their new light, bright environment which can only enhance their learning experience.
We were recently delighted to welcome the Mayor of Shipston, Cllr. Ian Cooper as one of our first visitors to the new block.
