Academy Principal, David Simons, said: "We're absolutely delighted with
our fabulous new building with students and staff at the Academy now
having state-of-the-art facilities to work in. Everyone is excited to
be back after the summer break, ready for the new academic year and
looking forward to the next chapter at Cornwallis in our inspirational
new surroundings."
Not only are these superb facilities designed to enhance and improve
students' education, but they will also be available to hire by local
businesses, community groups and individuals seven days a week. Once
staff and students have settled into the new building a number of
community tours will also be held. More information will be posted on
our website soon.
