Recent developments

Over the past few years, we have managed some reasonably major developments and improvements of the college site and grounds. These have included:

• A new and larger Learning Resource Centre
• A new state-of-the-art fitness gym
• Fully refurbished the canteen areas
• Enlarged three DT classrooms
• A new, large and fully equipped 'maths classroom of the future'
• Re-modelled the art and behaviour areas of 'C block'
• Fully re-furbished and fitted the two Food technology classrooms
• Developed new and unique unisex toilet facilities
• Improved accessibility to many areas of the college (including installing lift, ramps, handrails, height-adjustable equipment etc)
• Increased external signage and resurfacing of the main visitor parking areas

Future Developments

With the cancellation of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme, and the 'Spending Review' which the Government is now carrying out, we have put on hold the redevelopment plans we had.

Our resources are obviously limited and so we are concentrated on improving the teaching and learning environment and facilities for our students and staff, as oppossed to any major building projects.

Examples include:

• Replacing substandard classroom furniture, blinds etc
• Replacing warn or damaged carpets
• Improving the reliability and capacity of out ICT infrastructure
• The redecoration of classrooms and corridors
