Foundations almost complete!
17 May 2011: Some of the last of concrete foundations are being poured. The dry weather has helped with rapid progress on site.

To give a better understanding of what has been proposed I have produced a 360 Degree Flythrough of the New primary school. This 3D model will also help the construction team visualise the finished product. The model is by no means complete, but helps give a feel of the spaces.
