Pupils are set to be taught outside as part of plans for a rooftop classroom at a sixth form college in Wigan. A virtual reality room is also set to be built in the expansion plans for Winstanley College.
Wigan Council have approved the Billinge-based site's plans for a two-storey building with nine classroom suites which will become the new STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) teaching block.
This will contain the VR room and rooftop ‘solar array installation’.
