Update on new college building - 26th April 2024

Another disappointing update.  There had been hopes that it might be possible to decant and move into the new building in May half term.

Unfortunately, it has not proved possible to complete all the outstanding work required to ensure that the building is fit for occupation by our students, and we are therefore now looking to a summer holiday move.

We are currently working to agree an acceptable programme to complete Phase 2 of the works as the original date for completion of these works under the contract has already expired.  These comprise demolition of the existing timber building and huts, construction of new access and car park, and the essential All Weather Pitch.

The frustration of everyone involved cannot be underestimated.  However the delay should ensure that all work and installation of all equipment is completed prior to occupation.
