FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS AT WOODHAM ACADEMY TAKES INVESTMENT TO £ 1M
Woodham Academy continues to invest in the fabric of the school , with another brand-new science laboratory and fully refurbished music room now open .
The school now has six new science classrooms , with an investment of over £ 200,000 in these areas alone – taking total investment in the school to nearly £ 1m in the last four years .
Each science room is equipped with an interactive smartboard , large working spaces and excellent viewing areas for experiments .
Head of science Mr Jenkins said : “ It is important that our students have the best possible facilities , particularly in specialist subjects like science .
“ This allows all of the teachers in the department to deliver the highest quality lessons in each of the three science disciplines .”
Woodham ’ s fully-refurbished music room now features 30 new keyboards , all linked to a PC , allowing students ’ creativity to flourish .
Mrs Godfrey , head of music at Woodham , said : “ Many of the old keyboards were functional , but with this new model , we can develop students ’ musical ability far more .
“ The students are loving their lessons and the teachers are excited about the range of new possibilities .”
Woodham Academy has seen a significant increase in student numbers in the last four years .
Head teacher Mr Bell added : “ When students choose to come to Woodham , it is vital that we invest in the school , as they deserve the very best we can offer .
“ We have invested almost £ 1m in the last four years and we have a range of further improvements to be completed by September , to welcome our biggest year 7 in recent times .
“ When it becomes possible , I ’ m very much looking forward to inviting families into the school , particularly those who came here as students , as I ’ m sure they will appreciate the significance of the improvements .”
