- Our New School Is Coming!
First published on 21st April 2017 in issue 128 of the Federation Newsletter. Newsletters are sent to subscribers and ALL parents/carers of students at The White Hills Park Federation Trust, for whom we hold a valid email address. They also published on the Alderman White School, The Bramcote School and Bramcote College websites for a minimum period of 6 months from the date of issue. Archive copies of The Federation Newsletter are available on request.
On Wednesday evening we hosted a consultation event to showcase the designs for the new school building which will house students from The Bramcote School and Bramcote College. It was an extremely positive and popular event and there was a great deal of enthusiasm from the many people who attended. The plans on show were the detailed plans for the new school and college, and the outline plans for the housing development on Coventry Lane, which is the ‘enabling’ development that will fund the new building. We have now posted the plans on the Federation’s website (goo.gl/qcw84e), and I would encourage parents and students to have a look for yourselves.
I think that CAD Associates, the architects who have designed the school, have been very successful in meeting our requirements. The school will be very attractive, designed to fit into the landscape unobtrusively, reflecting the parkland and woodland around it. The design has incorporated all the elements we have prioritised:
Our target date for entering the new school is September 2019, and we are on track to meet this. In the next few weeks, I will give more details about the transitional arrangements, including the 6th form provision for the coming year. We are also pushing ahead with plans to secure funding for improvements to Alderman White School – as you may know, we have recently replaced extensive areas of roofing, and our next priority is to replace the English / humanities block. These are very exciting times for our Federation and I look forward to welcoming our first cohort of students into the new buildings.
