This afternoon I had the pleasure of attending King Alfred's East site to see the new building opening celebrations. It was an ideal opportunity to meet with the students who are all studying hard and enjoying their new surroundings.
The first building we saw (above left) was the new gym, which means that whatever the weather, the students will be able to keep fit on all the excellent new equipment inside. They all seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves and in the wake of the summer Olympics, the rowing machines were very popular!
The second building (above right) is a very attractive wooden building which holds new classrooms, IT and music rooms. Again, it was good to see the enthusiasm of the students involved and how much they seemed to be making the most of their new surroundings. The humanities class were doing an exercise on planning and the Grove Airfield development was under discussion. The young people were putting forward their own ideas on what they would like to see in the design and layout. Seeing as it will be their generation who will be experiencing any benefits or problems which may arise, it is an ideal opportunity for them to have their say at this stage.
