Sir John said: “Having signed one of the steel struts at the ceremony in September 2023, it is fantastic to see the school completed and open to pupils. I congratulate the County Council and all those involved in constructing it so quickly and to such a high standard. I am also delighted that the school is now part of the Lion Academy Trust school family and look forward to seeing it grow. Having been three times oversubscribed for the coming September entry, I have no doubt that it will be very popular and will be a real asset to the town”.
