Friday 4 March 2011

It’s been an exciting week as the building work has finally commenced at Chad Vale. This week, the bottom playground has been fenced off and the groundwork completed for the builders offices, on the grass verge at the end of Mrs. Morris’ garden. We’ve already seen diggers, dumper trucks, cranes and lots of workmen in hi-viz jackets and hard hats!

Throughout the week, we’ve tried to keep parents, carers and children up to date on the development of the building site through our Schoolcomms email/text system. We hope that you have found this useful. If you have not been receiving these emails or texts, please contact the school office so that we can update your details on our system. You can also visit our new ‘New Build News’ blog via the school website to view copies of all the messages sent out to parents this week (or follow the link below).

The next few months at Chad Vale will present unforeseen challenges to our normal day-to-day running. We have already established an excellent working relationship with Mark, our Site Manager and will continue to liaise closely with the build team on site to ensure that our outstanding teaching and learning can continue with minimum
disruption. We have rehearsed a range of fire evacuations this week at different times of the day. We have cleared the site in under 2 minutes everytime. A Safety Officer from West Midlands Fire Service, who witnessed a fire drill
today said; “I have absolutely no issues, whatsoever” and left, extremely impressed with how the recent changes to the site and evacuation routes have been managed by the school. For queries, questions or comments about the new build, please email:
