This award-winning reconfigured school in Blackburn offers 1,200 pupils a flexible, IT-rich environment, designed to transform teaching and learning. A new three-storey structure houses four learning environments: STEM (Science, Technology and Engineering), TEAM (English and Maths), Create (Art, Music & P.E.) and Communicate (Languages, History, Geography and R.E.). The retained 1930s element accommodates key spaces such as the school library. After school hours the fitness suite, sports hall, upgraded pitches and courts are open to the public, as are classrooms for adult learning. This BREEAM Excellent project has a low carbon emissions output, fulfilling its environmental expectations.
