Incredibly exciting! Head teacher's delight at proposed new premises for his Cleethorpes school

 

Jason Thurley - 125 more pupils but school will retain its 'ethos' 

HEAD teacher Jason Thurley  has described proposed reconstruction of Beacon Academy in Cleethorpes as "incredibly exciting".

Not only will the new premises be state-of-the art, but the school - which is currently oversubscribed - will be able to accommodate a further 125 pupils, bring the roll up from  625 to 750.

However, the school will still be smaller than the average secondary.

"This will allow it to retain its ethos where every child is known and understood, valued and given opportunities to excel," insists the  head.

A new building will be constructed on part of what is the existing playing field. 

Some existing buildings will be demolished, and other areas refurbished.

Will there not be disruption? If so, it will be kept to a minimum.

Pupils will  continue their lessons in our existing school building throughout the construction without disruption. 

The new building will include a biosolar roof, with solar panels.

Beacon Academy has also agreed that playing fields and a proposed multi-use games area  may be used by the community.

During development, there will be a temporary construction access via Humberston Road  to ease traffic concerns in Chatsworth Place. 

The project, which was granted planning consent last Friday, is scheduled for completion in summer next year.

Unlikely to win any architectural awards but far superior to what exists at present
