Building Schools for the Future

The Building Schools for the Future Project investment programme aimed to rebuild or renew nearly every secondary school in England. [7] Ian Ramsey had asked that they rebuild on their current site, instead of moving to a new site. [8] Primary schools across Stockton in Year 6 presented their ideas to Ian Ramsey staff of what they see in a secondary school. [9]

Due to cuts in government spending, Building Schools For The Future Project is no longer active and the majority of proposed rebuilds have now been scrapped.

In May 2013, the go-ahead for the current school to be replaced with a brand new one was given. [10]

Students and staff moved into the new building in September 2014.

For a number of years now Ian Ramsey has been working with a project called the Durham Lesotho Link, where staff and pupils raise money for schools and orphanages in Lesotho. There have been staff and student visits to the country during which the students visited a local school just outside the capital Maseru and worked with a children's orphanage. [11]
