We have been so pleased to welcome everyone back to school this week, particularly for pupils to see the progress that we have made with our toilet refurbishment project over the Summer. This was an investment of £350,000 and our main site improvement project this year and we are delighted with the results!

The project has included the renovation of all toilet rooms across the main school building, providing pupils with separate male and female facilities. We also have some designated inclusive toilets for everyone to use if they wish.

The feedback from pupils and staff has been very positive, particularly in relation to the open plan layout which improves safeguarding and supervision arrangements. Each cubicle is now floor-to-ceiling, ensuring maximum privacy and inclusivity for everyone.

Mrs S Morgan, Business Manager who has been involved in the project, said: “It has been a pleasure to work closely with pupils throughout the project and see their ideas and contributions come alive. I would like to extend special thanks to Mr Cooper, Premises Manager and RA Edwards for their relentless efforts and hard work throughout the renovation.”

George, Year 13 pupil and member of the Pupil Leadership Facilities Committee said: “I have really enjoyed being part of the project, which is what the school has needed for a while. The toilets are clean, modern and due to the floor to ceiling cubicles, they are really private and safe to use.”

The project will continue to the end of September with the completion of two additional toilet rooms. We sincerely hope our pupils appreciate the improvements and recognise that their feedback has been integral to these upgrades. Thank you for your continued support as we strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for all!
