A Nottinghamshire school has officially opened its new building following a £2.6m extension. Students, staff and governors of South Nottinghamshire Academy, based in Radcliffe on Trent, attended the site for a tour of the new facilities.
The new building was funded by Redhill Academy Trust, Nottinghamshire County Council and Section 106 funds. The two-storey extension will allow the school to continue growing to meet demand for school places in the local area, with the academy now being able to enrol 950 students from Years 7 to 13.
The ground floor of the Maple building contains five classrooms which will be used by the humanities faculty. Whereas the first floor has three classrooms, two of which are for ICT, as well as two smaller seminar classrooms and a common room area.
