Years of discussion & years of debate as to what is the best for the young people of Tamworth in regards to their education and for now i am not going to talk about governance etc of schools but I am going to talk about the new school being built at Amington.
I had the opportunity to visit the site back on a cold windy morning in February issued with a pair of black wellies, Hi-viz vest & hard hat, this visit was really a building sites, the floors were not in, many walls were missing and no sign of windows.
Now in June i have had the chance to walk around again with some local residents as well as site staff. The building have progressed well and the building almost feels finished except for final fit electrics and furniture etc. The think that really struck me was the brightness and level of natural lighting in the building along with the feeling of open space. really wide corridors with large glass walls at the end and widows around the top of the walls flooding in loads of light.
For a feel I have included this video, and the actual build is very similar it's almost confusing as to which is reality.
The new building is a fantastic new start for the school and is happening at the same time as so much in Tamworth including the post 16 centre, new fire stations and other development, it's quite an exciting time for Tamworth.
This is a real iconic building with a university feel to a high school.
