We look forward to moving into out state-of-the-art new building in 2022. On a recent tour of the site we were able to see things really progressing, with fixtures and fittings beginning to be installed in many classrooms and workshops. 
Stage and Screen production students have done a superb job building sets, creating props, operating sound and lighting, stage managing and creating films for the BOA group production of Alice in Wonderland. As a hugely successful four week run comes to an end, we can reflect on the amazing achievement of our students who, after all, only joined is in September!
