How will BSF affect
your school?
Secondary schools in Newham will
be designed to deliver a 21st Century curriculum within a 21st
Century environment. Find out below what developments are planned
for Newham's schools.
Brampton Manor
Two thirds of the school had already been modernised under the
Brampton 2000 Project, which included a new floodlit synthetic turf
pitch. In 2005, a new 'state of the art' Sports Hall was provided
as part of the BSF 'Quick Win' programme. This investment totalled
over £1.5 million. The latest investment allowed the completion of
remaining areas of the school through the refurbishment of general
teaching spaces, halls and two gymnasia. A new state of the art
theatre and a Media block have been completed.
Lister Community School
A new nine-form entry school has been built on the current site,
with the existing sports hall and dance studio retained. This new
three-storey building was opened for students in September. High
quality classroom facilities, quiet and individual study areas and
meeting rooms have been provided. The redevelopment of the site has
enabled Lister to continue to deliver its programme of fully
inclusive education with particular provision for students with
hearing impairment.
Rokeby Community School
Rokeby has be relocated and rebuilt at a new site in Canning Town,
where major regeneration of the whole area is planned. The school
includes a six-court sports hall that is intended to have
considerable community use, as well as a multi-use games area. The
new Rokeby School was opened to students in September and its
formal opening ceremony took place on November 4th.
Sarah Bonnell Community School
An extensive programme of remodelling and refurbishment has enabled
outdated parts of the school to be brought in line with those which
have been more recently redeveloped. A new wing on the corner of
Deanery Road and Water Lane has been built and there is a new
dining block adjacent to Water Lane.
Eastlea Community School
The redevelopment of the site will enable Eastlea to continue to
deliver its programme of fully inclusive education with particular
provision for students with Profound and Multiple Learning
Disabilities. (PMLD) The remodelling, which began in July 2010,
will include the building of a new dining and Art block, a wholly
refurbished Science block and the refurbishment of the DT area. A
new entrance will mean that students and visitors will access the
school via Pretoria Road rather than Exning Road as at present.
Forest Gate Community School
The refurbishment and remodelling of the school will make all
internal and external areas accessible to all students, with
particular attention paid to the needs of visually impaired
students. A new sports hall has been built alongside Forest Lane
with an undercroft, housing admin areas, an area for Business and
Enterprise and a cyber-café. This building was completed and handed
over to the school at the end of November. Many other parts of the
school will be modernised or refurbished.
Langdon Community School
Langdon School will be completely remodelled to create Newham's
first 'all-through' school, to include pupils from Nursery age to
Year 11, (3 to 16 year olds). The primary element of the school
will be equivalent to a 3-form entry school. The secondary element
will retain its current 12-form entry roll and accommodation will
be consolidated within a reduced and rationalised area. A
considerable refurbishment plan will dramatically improve the
facilities across the whole site and there will be significant
elements of new-build in the project.
The Royal Docks Community School
Facilities for students with special educational needs and Profound
and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) will be improved and
moved to new purpose-built rooms in what was previously an
adult-learning unit. The dining area will be considerably increased
in comparison to the very small dining facilities available at
present.
