This afternoon, I visited the temporary school with members of the School Council. We visited a range of classrooms, including the new computer rooms and art rooms as well as general teaching spaces. The build is now close to completion, and each classroom is nearly ready for teaching with white boards and notice boards. The Food Technology rooms have ovens and hobs, and the science labs have running water and gas taps like any other science lab. At present, though, the rooms do not have furniture or learning equipment.

Over the Easter break, the chairs and tables from the current school buildings that are being demolished will be transferred. There will be a commercial company doing this, and also moving boxes of school books and other resources across. Our IT team will also be moving the teaching screens from the permanent classrooms into the temporary school, so a busy fortnight looms across the Easter break.
