1st Draft
HARROGATE Grammar school’s new sixth form building is quickly taking shape much to the delight of the schools community.
The build that is due to be finished by September will include a multifunctional learning theatre, practical teaching space, a media suite and six further new classrooms to accommodate and benefit the schools growing sixth form.
The funding for the new development came from the learning and skills council which has been described as a well needed adjustment to the school.
After the worst winter in 10 years, many sixth formers feared the school would not be ready in time but now the project is back on track for some of the student’s final year.
Year 13 student Hannah Bobbett is looking forward to moving into the new block ‘it will be so exciting to be finally in the new building, spending my final year in there will be thoroughly enjoying with the use of its new facilities such as the media suite which in particular sixth from is in need of because of its varied course’
The media suite which is causing much anticipation due to the fact computers are being placed so they ‘pop’ out of the desk and are easily placed back away so the space can be used as desks which will place a contemporary twist on the school.
Mr Howell business manager at the grammar school adds that the ‘new addition will be a wonderful improvement for the school’ which will create’ a fantastic environment for learning’.
Bowman Reilly, the architects for the school have now revealed the exclusive plans of the build on their website for the general public to view.
The plans also re-enforce the intended luxury with details such as ‘the space will be provided with a full AVIT (audio visual information technology facilities), stage lighting and storage’.
In addition to this the sixth form extension is the biggest investment since the original school was constructed in 1933 enabling a modern, efficient building for the school itself and the surrounding area.
During the recent weeks the school has recently demolished the three temporary huts they were using to teach the sixth form and added an extra thirty car parking space to the schools car park which reflects the growth of the local district and the rising demand for teachers.
As well as the new sixth form the school has also seen a new library and an extension to the dining room which was completed at Easter.
Harrogate Grammar which was declared outstanding in the last Ofsted report has been given the go-ahead to add a third specialism of a ‘training school’ adding to its language and technology speciality.
The third status means that the school would be able to work with Universities and other leading schools although a further benefit would be that raised standards of the schools workforce would also take place.
