What a Difference a Month Makes

A busy two weeks in school since the half term break have delayed the promised update on the blog, with the result that there is masses of progress to report in words and pictures since I last wrote in February.

The contractors took advantage of the holiday week to install the new food technology classroom in the CLC quad and, at the same time, to create some extra space for us by removing the planted areas.  We were sorry to lose these, but it has made a massive difference at break and lunchtime by allowing us to install some picnic tables which are a popular spot for students to meet and chat.  They are so successful that we have ordered some more which will go into the main quad in the next few weeks.

The new food room is already fully operational, and staff and students who use the room have reported that it is an improvement on the old one, even though it is in a temporary building. 

The construction of the new sports building (which will also provide a permanent home for the Somers Town Youth Centre) is progressing quickly.  Behind the hoardings in the champs playground, the steelwork for the foundations is taking shape, and we will start to see the main structure going up within the next few weeks.  Finally, as I write, the scaffolders are at work outside the Medburn Centre, preparing for the demolition of the central part of the building which will eventually be connected to the new arcade.
