We completed a major school regeneration and modernisation which included new staff and teaching spaces, amenities and arts facilities.

  • In the Winstanley Building, we refurbished general classrooms, staff offices, the technology centre and utilities, and installed a new lift.
  • The R.J. Vague Wing gained new art, media and visual communication facilities, as well as a new link to the Kroger Building.
