Building Schedule
Preparation work began back in February of this year. We have seen a Summer of great progress which is transforming the buildings. The first element of Phase 1 has been completed and handed over for use by the school. We can boast now of a brand new Drama studio, a new Kitchen and Dining Hall, new Music Recital room, Music Ensemble room, Fitness Studio and a brand new Activity Studio. These facilities have been greeted enthusiastically by students, staff and visitors alike.
The second element of Phase 1 includes the new Sports Hall with changing rooms, a new Community Entrance and Reception as well as a new facility for use by our 6th Formers. These rooms are available late October. At the same time as these developments have been taking place, much of the old frontage has been removed from the Lichfield site to make way for the building of Phase 2. This will be completed by Whitsun 2012 when we will be handed a brand new Engineering Hall and also several new Science laboratories and teaching rooms. This second phase also includes a 170-seater Lecture Theatre.
June 2012 sees the commencement of the final Phase. This will see the total refurbishment and modernisation of the main Lichfield teaching block. Away with the old, narrow corridors and in with the light and spacious 21st Century learning facility – flexible and open learning spaces with seminar rooms, 60- seater Lecture Theatre, snack areas and zones for students to complete private study.
All of the above facilities will, from September 2012, be supported by a new ICT system. This will include not only site-wide WiFi but also an impressive variety of devices that students can use to perform tasks to help prepare them for an increasingly digital world.
