New teaching Block

 

Progress Report 7th December 2009

 

It is anticipated that we will receive the keys to the new teaching block on 15th December, and the builders are working non-stop to achieve this.

 

The recent extremely wet weather has been a small inconvenience to the builders as everywhere has become very muddy and with floor coverings being fitted they are very protective regarding access. The fixed furniture is now installed, and all the computers and Inter Active Whiteboards are either being worked on or about to be delivered. New furniture has been ordered and will be delivered towards the end of this term.

 

We are now discussing the minutiae of the takeover from the builders, with staff relocating mostly over the Christmas/New Year Holiday.

 

A formal name has yet to be agreed so suggestions are welcomed, as are donations of any size and for substantial donations then clearly naming rights would be available!

 

We are very much looking forward to teaching in the new building from January 11th and parents will have the opportunity to view the building during a specially organised evening of celebration in January.  A formal opening will happen during the first half term with the Bishop of Northampton blessing the building in March.
