At our recent Parent Forum, we discussed the upcoming renovation of our toilet facilities. We’re thrilled to share that significant changes are underway concerning the main school building’s toilet provision.

This renovation project stands as our primary priority for premises development this academic year. Our aim is to provide pupils with the best possible facilities, inclusive of male, female, and gender-neutral toilet rooms. Moreover, the designs incorporate an open-plan layout to support improved supervision arrangements and safeguarding measures. Additionally, the cubicles will feature floor-to-ceiling cubicles to guarantee privacy and inclusivity for all.

We’ve already taken significant steps towards this goal by engaging with an architect and structural engineer to design and cost the refurbishment. Our aim is to have the works completed during the Summer break, pending a successful tender process and contractor appointment.

As part of this process, we have consulted with local schools, CTA pupils, staff and the Local Governing Body to inform layout and design stages and ensure that our plans align with the needs and preferences of our school community. We are incredibly grateful for the overwhelmingly positive feedback received from our pupils during week-long discussions. Their insights have been invaluable in shaping the future of our toilet facilities.

We are now in a position to finalise the layouts, including specifications for cubicle design, floor, wall, and ceiling finishes and look forward to proving an update of when works will start in due course.

Thank you for your ongoing support as we strive to provide our pupils with the best possible learning environment.
