Great Park Academy Permanent Site
Newsletter – December 2024
Welcome to our winter information update and newsletter!
If you have walked or driven past the new school site recently, you may have noticed the significant progress that has been made. The building is already looking impressive. The roofing, brickwork, and cladding are well underway, and the drainage work is complete. This has allowed Galliford Try to begin constructing the hard standing around the building, including the tarmac and block paving.
During our site visits, it is especially exciting to see the internal partitions coming together. Classrooms, corridors and offices are all taking shape, providing a clear sense of the layout of the teaching areas and other key spaces. Additionally, the installation of power, data and lighting cables in both rooms and corridors is currently in progress.
In the upcoming stages, the focus will be on completing the windows and internal partitions, commencing the decoration, and finishing the installation of lighting and small power and data.
Galliford Try has continued to visit our temporary site to engage with students and lead assemblies on careers in the construction industry. This aligns well with our careers program, and the information shared by the Galliford Try team often sparks interesting questions from our students.
Below you can view recent photographs of our new building.
We hope you have a wonderful Christmas break and look forward to sharing more updates on the progress of our new school building with you next term.
Yours sincerely,
Katherine Billingsley, Principal
