New Build Update - The Building is Rising!

We're back from the Easter holidays, and there's been tremendous progress on site over the past couple of weeks.

Some of the steel frame for the new school has arrived and work began today on erecting it! You can see in the aerial photos that the structural steelwork is going up across the ground floor, with cranes on site lifting the steel beams and columns into place. This is exactly what the contractors told us we'd start to see - the building is finally rising from the ground.

The ground beams are now complete, and the steel framework is starting to go up across the site. Over the coming weeks, more steel will continue to be erected and the building will start to take its full form as the structure rises higher.

This is a really exciting phase of the build - after months of groundwork and foundations, the school is now visibly taking shape and you can start to get a real sense of the scale of the new building.

We'll keep you posted with more updates as the build progresses!
