Building Schools for the Future (BSF) at the Octagon
This £5.3m project was completed in Spring 2010. Today it provides students with the opportunity for more personalised learning, an enhanced school’s inclusion programme and the school continues to develop within the local community.You can read our BSF story in the attached files section.
Staff who all recall the old building are enjoying the transformation of our premises. We are now working in a bright, modern spacious environment and enjoying having ICT in our classrooms, along with new furniture, making it a great place to work.
Our students feel they are entering a new school and a learning environment where they are valued.
We are all looking forward to making the most of our new building and feel privileged to have it.
