A new meeting area at Rudheath Senior Academy. Lee Barber, who joined the school as Headteacher in 2020, said: “We now have a brand new school with facilities that rank amongst the best in the area. “The renovations have been so extensive that it allowed us to completely changed the layout of the school. “We now have a Year 7 Hub, so children moving up from primary school do all their lessons in what is essentially their own school. “While they benefit from all the other facilities, their base is a stand-alone area which makes the transition to secondary education much smoother.
