We are now in the fourth week of the Summer holiday and the Warwick Road campus is a hive of construction activity. There's a large compound outside the Sports Hall and work is well underway, with the old squash court internal walls coming down, new cabling being installed, and the changing rooms already stripped out and ready to be replaced.

While the majority of the focus is on developing the new gym, which is due for completion at the end of the year, we are also undertaking some preparatory work on the roof of Big School ahead of the transformation of the library, which will begin in 2027.

And, if you're wondering about the image at the top of this email, well - let's just say its part of something much bigger that is set to play a significant role in our new gym! Thanks to your wonderful support, we are working hard and dreaming big for Solihull, so watch this space...

We are very grateful to you for backing the Synergy project and look forward to welcoming you back to school, to see the projects coming to life for yourself, in due course.

With best wishes for a relaxing summer; I look forward to updating you again in early autumn.
