Pupils from Peterborough unveil building proposals

Pupils from Peterborough will next week unveil their creative ideas for new multi-million pound school buildings.

At an event at Peterborough Town Hall on Monday, the students will put forward designs for new buildings at their three schools.

Teams of 15 pupils from three schools - Ormiston Bushfield Academy, Stanground College and Orton Longueville School - took part in the initiative.

The pupils' work will influence the drawing up of detailed plans.

The three teams designed plans for a new £20m premises at Ormiston Bushfield Academy, a £40m re-construction of Stanground College and £20m improvements at Orton Longueville School.

At the celebration event, the teams will unveil their ideas to an audience that will include their headteachers, chairs of governors, parents and Mayor of Peterborough councillor Irene Walsh.

The initiative was sponsored by the education organisation the Sorrell Foundation.
