Principal’s Blog: March 2010
This month Principal Designate Guy Hutchence offers a virtual tour of progress at the East Manchester Academy.
March has been a particularly busy time for us as we now know who our 180 ‘pioneers’ will be for the opening of the new Academy in September. After the half term break we will be organising transition days so our new pupils can familiarise themselves with the new school uniform, the calendar and the timetable. We’ll also be offering tours around the school but, until then, here’s a taster of where we are up to on site.

- “A science lab: plenty of space here for those exciting experiments.”
-
- “Already many of the classrooms are fitted out with work benches…”
-
- “Lots of bright colours in every classroom and every corridor. This is one of the art rooms.”
-
- “One classroom has already been fitted-out to show how it might look…”
-
- “Part of the new district library. Plenty of natural light here.”
-
- “The central atrium will be a hub of activity when we open in Spetember. The blue-painted wall is where the new district library will be.”
-
- “The drainage is being laid under what will be our all-weather sports pitches.”
-
- “These ‘curricuum links’ are the footbridges between the two main teaching blocks.”
-
- “This from the back, showing the teaching blocks and the links between.”
-
- “This is just how close we are to all the great facilities at Sportcity, and we’ll be making the most of them all!”
-
- “This is our view towards the city centre.”
