EXCITING ideas for the multi-million pound transformation of two Stockton secondary schools will unveiled to the public next week. Bishopsgarth School and Ian Ramsey Church of England School should be among the first in the borough to benefit from Building Schools for the Future (BSF) investment, if the government approve the council’s outline business plan.
Initial ideas have been developed with the assistance of representative pupils, parents, teachers and school staff.
Now parents and local residents are being invited to talk to the Council’s BSF team about the proposals and see the initial concept designs at a special drop-in session.
The first drop-in will be held between 3.30pm and 7pm on Tuesday, June 2 at Ian Ramsey Church of England School. A similar session will take place at Bishopsgarth School from 3.30pm to 7pm on Thursday, June 4. Jane Humphreys, Stockton Council’s Corporate Director for Children, Education and Social Care, said: "We want our schools to reflect the needs and aspirations both of pupils and the communities they serve and therefore the feedback gained through this kind of event is vital."
It is anticipated that construction work will begin on Bishopsgarth School and Ian Ramsey Church of England School in summer 2011.
