| The new Theatre |
Well quite a bit has happened since my last post. The builders have been blessed with reasonable weather and they have made the most of it!
Plenty of steel work has gone up on the structure adjacent to the main hall and only yesterday, (1st Feb 2011) they seemed to construct, what I believe is going to be, the new theatre in a matter of hours!

Some of the walls have been constructed in the new build beside the old art rooms (now ICT) and if you were to walk around the back of the Denise Lewis Sports Hall (Down by the tennis courts) you can see a lot of excavation work has been happening in readiness for the work to start on the new Tettenhall Wood Special School.
So...all in all, work is moving on at quite a pace and hopefully any time lost during the bad snow before christmas will soon be made back up...

These other pix show work around the site and how the old school is changing. The new facades, shape and texture of the very fabric of the building is being brought bang up to date! Some may say its a change for the worse....some may disagree. As a pupil from the end of the sixties into the early seventies and having worked here since the millenium, I can hand on heart and say in my humble opinion this is good! The school may change but, time marches on and change is inevitable. We almost lost the school completely in 1998 so this is by far and away a better outcome...
