St Leonards Durham rebuild

[Becs]

I know there's a number of old pupils on here and I thought you might like to see the walk through video of the new school.

The big extension is full of RAAC concrete and is due to be pulled down imminently. They are going to build a brand new school, then remove the front extension to open up the facade of the old manor house. The white buildings on the video are the manor house and the exisiting sixth form block which is unaffected by RAAC.

Smart that @Becs I didn’t attend but my husband and son both did , I’m sure my husband would have loved the new design.

It’s nee Johnston, if you disagree I’ll see you down Flass Vale (please tell me that’s still a thing).

Fram Comp would batter both of them at the same time

My life just flashed before me. I could have died under 50t of rubble before I even lived.

Mind you the RAAC was still brand new when I was there

Lennies laugh at you now as we did then

Must be tough for the kids who went through the covid years and then the structural problems straight off the back of that, mine left before this new crisis kicked off. The place has been begging to be rebuilt for years (much like the Johnston was).

Newton Hall Casuals were the backbone of the Fram Infantry

My youngest has struggled. Lost teaching during covid then having to do extra hours after school to catch up for GCSE's.

She's started A-Levels this academic year and has had teaching disrupted and lack of access to science labs for her practical work. She's got some after school sessions at Durham uni labs this term to try and catch up.

You could conduct a reign of terror with a balloon on a stick at Fram man.

My missus went to Fram comp. I can confirm that this is true.

Hadaway man. We were that ferocious we'd even take the Johnson playing fields. Have a kick about to mark the territory etc

Nowt to fear from the poshest softest school in Durham. Even the private school was rougher

My husband used to tell me when they were in 6th form they used to smoke in the common room and go to the Garden house on a lunch time

Looks very nice.

I see the kids are now in the big tents. I was walking past at tent kicking out time yesterday. It felt slightly unsafe with kids flooding out near that busy road.

Standing outside the Co-op and Newton Chippie was a great upbringing.

There was an offie next to the Newton Hall pub in our early days I seem to recall. The one with the most developed facial hair sent in to put on his deepest voice.

Basil Phillipson will be turning in his grave at all this ' progress'!

School buildings in Co Durham have been a scandal for years and years

Had to literally put lives at risk before anyone took any notice
