Improvement works, completed in time for the start of term earlier this month, enable students to benefit from a larger, ground floor classroom with improved access, a larger practical area with new worktops, surfaces and equipment, and a separate theory teaching space.

The project, which included stripping out the old food studies classroom and turning it into a standard classroom, was part funded thanks to a contribution from the Charles Lewis Foundation, who also supported our new Sensory Garden and Playground last year.

Moor House Bursar & Business Manager Jemma Kingham said: “Food studies is taught across all year groups here at Moor House and is a really popular subject option, so it was imperative that we addressed the issues with the old classroom.

“The new classroom provides a fit for purpose, well equipped room that can comfortably accommodate our bigger class sizes and which our students will benefit from for years to come.”
