Earlier in the year, Phase One and Two of the John Port Spencer Academy Masterplan commenced with the expansion of the car park and the major refurbishment of the academy’s Art + Design Faculty. The car park is an essential strategic step in delivering the masterplan and last week was completed ahead of the pupils returning to school.

The works to the Art + Design Faculty incorporate the repurposing and refurbishment of spaces across three existing buildings to provide four generic Art Classrooms, along with dedicated Photography, Textile and Graphics Classrooms. Works to the main art building were also completed ahead of the pupils return, with the other two on track to be handed over in November.
