Noel-Baker Community School - New Building Construction

New Building Construction

A new construction is currently being built to replace the current school. The site for this new school will be placed on the current playing fields. The current building, which is now exceeding 50 years old, will be demolished. The new Noel Baker construction will be prepared for the beginning of the school year in September 2012 at a cost of £34 million. The 1150 pupils of Noel Baker will be combined with 90 pupils from St.Martin's special school - a school which operates to educate special needs students.

The construction of the new Noel-Baker will make it the most expensive new-build school in the area in comparison to Merrill Collage's construction which cost £15 million and Derby Moor whose refurbishment cost £19 million.

Famous quotes containing the words building and/or construction:

    ... what’s been building since the 1980’s is a new kind of social Darwinism that blames poverty and crime and the crisis of our youth on a breakdown of the family. That’s what will last after this flurry on family values.
    Stephanie Coontz (b. 1944)

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
