Progress Report.

The below webcam shot is updated every 15 seconds and shows the building work taking place on the new Junior Girls' School.

This page provides progress reports on the building of the new Junior Girls' School.

The Foundation Stone laying ceremony was held in January with Lord Leverhulme's granddaughter, The Hon Mrs Jane Heber-Percy as the VIP guest.
The school building will be known as Hesketh House - from the middle name of William Hesketh Lever. The Hesketh name was a dual tribute to his mother, Elizabeth Hesketh and to the unrelated wholesale grocers Stones & Hesketh who had taken on William's father as a partner in 1841.
The Contractor, G & J Seddons, is reporting that the Junior Girls' School should be ready ahead of programme…around mid/end of June, providing us with sufficient time to occupy the building ready for the start of the 2010/11 academic year, subject to any adverse weather or other unforeseen issues.
Plastering and painting is being applied at the moment!
Shortly after the Easter holidays, the scaffolding will be dismantled and the external elevations will be revealed.
The project is still within budget at just below £5 Million.
Plans are well underway to organise how we will move in….looking at existing and new classroom equipment, specialist apparatus, ICT provision, catering, signage and so on,
