Work at the school is moving on at an amazing pace. The roof and walls are all completed, the fabulous original beams look amazing and add real character. This week a mini digger arrived and after excavating a large trench across the car park the drainage is now connected.

Now that the plaster has dried two coats of paint have been applied and the flooring is being laid. Nick Bonner, Director of the school said ‘the building work has been completed to a very high standard, we have managed to retain the character of the old building but add in the modern functionality that will make this a great teaching kitchen, and the added bonus is we are ahead of schedule.’

The first cookery class in the new school will be an Artisan Bread day, taking place on Saturday 18 June.
