Going green

We’re going all eco-friendly at ag6, where we are currently laying a green roof over the kitchen. It’s an environmentally friendly way of harvesting rainwater by covering a roof area with grass over a waterproofing membrane, which absorbs rainwater and provides insulation. We can then recycle the rainwater and use it to flush the toilets and water the green areas.

The curtain walling system is also nearing completion on the outside of the building ready for the ‘active’ self-cleaning glass to be delivered next week.

Another section of the road has been tarmacked and we’ve handed over the cycle path to the school.

Internally, we’ve started painting the upper floors of the building and the mock-up classroom is being prepared ready for the students return after half term.

The mock-up classroom will feature everything you would expect, carpets, fitted furniture, tables and seats to show the current students, parents and teachers what the finished rooms might look like. It also gives the school a chance to change any of the final touches.

Have a great half-term ag6 students and we look forward to showing you one of your new ag6 classrooms when you get back.
