Orchards Academy celebrate new milestone in the construction of its new school building
Orchards Academy in Swanley, part of the Kemnal Academies Trust, celebrated reaching a new milestone in the construction of its new school building last week.
"I'm delighted to be able to celebrate this milestone in the construction of the new school - my children and grandchildren attended here and I'm so pleased the next generations will be able to enjoy all that the new facilities have to offer"
The new school building is due for completion in Autumn 2025, with the demolition of the old school and construction of sports pitches and playing areas by Spring 2026.
мÓÆÂÁùºÏ²Ê¿ª½±½á¹û CEO Dr Karen Roberts said:
"We are now seeing our vision become a reality - to create a new space that enables our staff and students to fulfil their potential and benefit from inspirational teaching and outstanding facilities. We are incredibly grateful to Laura Trott MP for her unwavering support for this new school, and for helping us to bring it to fruition. I look forward to seeing this space buzzing with students, staff and members of the community when it opens next year."
Laura Trott, MP for Sevenoaks and Swanley said:
"It was brilliant to join the celebrations and mark the topping out ceremony of the new school building. Securing the funding was one of my first major campaigns after becoming an MP and when open, it is going to be transformative for the children of Swanley and surrounding villages. This has all been made possible because we came together as a community, and I can’t wait to see the first pupils in their new classrooms.”
