NEW STATE OF THE ART SIXTH FORM CENTRE OFFICIALLY UNVEILED

Nottingham High School’s new state-of-the-art Sixth Form Centre and dining hall has been officially opened by the Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire, Sir Andrew Buchanan and School Captain, James Taylor.

Governors and staff as well as other VIP guests were invited to the event which included an opportunity to take a tour of the new building.

The £4.5m centre is located in the West Quad area at the heart of the school site and boasts spacious and modern facilities for both senior school and sixth form pupils.

A 400 capacity dining hall for the senior school including new kitchen facilities is situated on the ground floor, whilst the sixth form centre occupies the first and second floors and includes a brasserie and large, bright social areas for the Sixth Formers to enjoy.

With the new centre being at the heart of the school, sixth form students are able to play a key role in school life and also provide an inspiration to younger pupils – a key requirement when the design for the new centre was originally conceived.

“We are extremely proud of our new sixth form centre and dining hall and wanted to have a special event to mark the official opening,” said Kevin Fear, headmaster at Nottingham High School. “Our students will be able to benefit from first class facilities, significantly enhancing their experience at the school.”
