State-of-the-art teaching facilities will this week begin to be delivered to an Island school that forms a main part of Isle of Wight Council's education vision.
The Church of England Dioceses for Portsmouth and Winchester and the Roman Catholic Diocese for Portsmouth founded Christ the King College in Newport in September 2008 to support the council's proposed school
re-organisation and to meet a long held community desire for denominational education for the full secondary age range.
As part of the expansion of Christ the King College, 13 new classroom blocks will be delivered over the next month. These include new science, design and technology and art facilities.
The delivery of the first set of teaching facilities will take place each day between Monday 6 July and Friday 10 July. The second sets will be delivered on Thursday 30 July, Friday 31 July and Monday 3 August.
Due to the size of the facilities, heavy good vehicles will be required to transport the loads. This may result in slight delays for road users on each day getting into Newport from the West Wight.
Pat Goodhead, Principal at Christ the King said "I am delighted to see the start of our new college project and would want to thank colleagues in the Diocesan Authority and Isle of Wight Council for their work and support in achieving this development.
"I would also want to assure parents that the building programme will not disrupt students' learning and will positively be used by the college to enhance the learning provision"
