Summer Works 2010

One set of technical specialists leave school for a well-earned break and another set come in.  

Good progress is being made with the many and varied maintenance works planned over the summer period.

Raising the roof

The main project underway is the raising of the roof in the Dining Hall.   This preparatory work to the dining facility is to allow a mezzanine level to be put in which will accommodate a third more girls in due course.   The work will be complete before the beginning of the autumn term, and work will commence on the dining hall itself in Easter 2011. 

The work has uncovered the original external wall of Landor House - not seen for some considerable time.   The building itself was built just before the Great Fire of Warwick in 1692-93 and was the birthplace of Walter Savage Landor, born in 1775.
