BSF
We are delighted to confirm that the government has given the ‘go-ahead’ for developments at Wade Deacon High School as one of the local authority ‘sample’ school projects. We have been working very closely with architects over the past year and are close to finalising some very exciting plans.
This building project will greatly enhance our facilities, giving our pupils a state of the art learning environment and enabling us to harness the very latest technology in our drive to achieve ‘world class’ educational outcomes.
This is a period of transition and change for us all, but you can be assured that in all matters it will be the pupils - your sons and daughters that will be our priority.
P. A. Wright
Executive Headteacher
