Classroom of the Future
The classroom has been shortlisted for the 2008 Royal Instuitute of British Architects award.
Inside there are eight computers that can be used in a standing or sitting position and a large plasma screen that is ideal for videoconferencing or displaying work. The classroom can also be used as an indoor/outdoor space; the side door lowers to become a performance area that utilises the fully integrated sound system.
The Braincell with the stage lowered
In the 2008 summer term the following students and teachers - Simeon Hammond-Dallas (10E), Azania Hammond-Dallas, Charley Kemp and Joe Allen - performed live on the Braincell stage watched by an enthusiastic lunchtime student audience.
Citizenship students used the conferencing facility to learn about Victorian prison reform. This exciting project was organised by the House of Commons education department.
