Nightingale Community Academy says thank you for summer refurbishment

Pupils and staff at Nightingale Community Academy were delighted to welcome the Estates and Facilities Team into school for a special assembly where they thanked them for all the school improvements. Whilst the school was away enjoying the summer holidays, the facilities team was hard at work supervising contractors on a massive programme of work to improve the school environment. They did such a good job that when everyone returned in September, it felt like a new school!

Pupils said the school felt a lot brighter, cleaner and smelt nicer after walls were repainted, and floors replaced. They said it made them feel happier at school and able to concentrate on their work.

School improvements include:

• A new state of the art Design Technology room, with industrial equipment and facilities to create 3 dimensional multidisciplinary design
• A new art room with FF&E to provide space for learners to be inspired creatively
• A new floor in the Sports Hall with extra bounce for our young basketball team
• A new Gym with equipment for learners to workout physically
• Corridor floors and stairs have new vinyl, providing light and airy space
• A 6th-form learning space with adapted furniture, for flexible learning and a more adult approach.

A huge thank you to everyone involved, it has made the school a much better place.
