You can also see a week by week update a blog for the build on our school website which charts the build from Day 1 – to the end.

We are looking forward to joining the official opening ceremony where Rugby League Legend Phil Clarke will be helping ‘cut the ribbon’ of the facility. We can’t wait to celebrate this new facility opening and to see what exciting new talents will be developed when the pupils get to try the pitch out!
