The new build is moving at pace on the Wrotham School site, with the first run of bricks going in on the main building and all cladding and glazing in place on the second building.

The build is well on track to be completed on or ahead of schedule meaning that we are now in the final year of the project and will likely be moving in sooner than planned.

Work Experience

In July, 45 students completed activities that helped them develop their employability skills, character, and learn more about the construction sector.

The day was planned by BAM so that the students would design a sustainable school, but when the lead couldn’t make it in to us, the teaching staff at Wrotham really stepped up! It was a very different way of teaching with BAM joining us virtually and the staff taking on different roles to help it run. Special mention to Ben Fuller, Emily Greigg and others for rearranging one of the sessions, but still making sure teams demonstrated the right skills, and were assessed to earn points.

Today, the winning teams got to visit the new school and were overhead saying ‘I’m so excited!’ to each other and the questions were brilliant.

That’s another 9 work experience placements right there, including for some young carers and students with SEND
