Earlier this week I donned a hard hat and followed David Kemp, the Head of Chessington Community College, as he showed me around the new building.  The first new block will be opening in April next year, then work will begin on replacing the current main block.

The old block on the left, soon to be demolished, beside the spectacular entrance to the new main building on the right.

David Kemp admiring the blue-glazed bricks that decorate the outside of the building.

The magnificent atrium which uses the same kind of roofing as the Eden Project - rather like giant bubble wrap. Note the handsome flank wall of the sports hall which will be refurbished but not rebuilt.
