On recent inspection of the 'Educational Campus' i have noted that there is a 'sensory room ' i believe this shows the polictical correctness filtering down to the schools , obviously this is down to the new labour party.It is also worth noting the school has atrracted a number of 'roughcast building spotters' as it shows a classic 1978 building , a rarity in these chrome days. Furthermore, sex education is of an excellent standrd with teachers demonstrating on pupils.
