Work is now well underway, with significant early changes already visible. Over the past week, contractors have completed the removal of the remaining perimeter fencing, and the old 3G grass carpet has been fully lifted and taken off site, marking a major step in preparing the area for its full rebuild. These early stages may look dramatic, but they are an essential part of transforming our existing pitch into a modern, FA-accredited facility that will benefit both our pupils and the wider community for years to come.
