DevelopmentsDevelopments We are nearing the end of a programme of development, with a new building just opened, and new spaces being created in the Main Building.

The developments strengthen our provision in the digital arts and increase our unsupervised work and social areas to better accommodate our large number of post-16 students.

Our digital arts developments include an expanded and updated music technology classroom, improved digital film editing (including a specialist HD suite), DVD authoring equipment, improved ICT for multi-media and digital still photography.

Our expanded library will be completed in the next month.
