State-of-the-art buildings

Rapid progress is being made in our schools building programme that will see all secondary schools in Lewisham being rebuilt or totally refurbished.

The programme will see all secondary schools transformed into fantastic learning environments with state-of-the-art facilities.

Students at Forest Hill, Sedgehill, Haberdashers Aske’s Knights Academy, Prendergast-Ladywell Fields and St Matthew Academy have all moved into their new buildings.

During 2009 Catford High’s new buildings will also be completed and all other schools will be not far behind.
