Towards 2017 - An optimistic view

Though the year of 2016 is not yet over it is thought that an optimistic view 'towards 2017' would be an advantage.

The year so far has fueled that optimism for we have had many generous pledges and donations to bring us closer towards our target. The Trustees and the School is extremly grateful for this support. so where are we now and where could we be as the new year arrives? 

We are hoping to make a start in the New year.The build will be undertaken over a 20-week period in a single phase, the total costs have been calculated by a professional cost consultant and total £216,000. Three tenders will be obtained.
