The rebuild process happening at Yatton Infant School has provided a great chance for pupils to learn and feel a part of the ongoing construction work - and their new school building. The teams involved have taken the opportunity to help to engage pupils minds in what construction involves, and introduced them to different career paths.

Katie Corbett, from Bray Slaughter, shares how Yatton Infant School pupils have been involved in the journey so far:

"We believe it’s important that the children are kept informed and engaged with the progress of their new school being built. This helps to build a sense of excitement and curiosity, while also giving them the chance to learn about the construction process, the materials being used, and the many different roles involved in the project.

In February, the children visited the construction site, where Project Manager Martin Hancock spoke to them about the machinery on site and the work taking place during the early stages of the build."

"In March, pupils in Years 1 and 2 took part in a school assembly led by Design Manager Bethan Knight, from our team, and Levi Lawson from the Coreus Group. They spoke about their roles in the project, shared an update on progress, and gave the children a look at what their new school building will look like once completed. The pupils were highly engaged and asked lots of thoughtful questions.

In April, the Yatton Infant School staff visited the site to see the progression of the build, look at the drawing plans, and ask questions.

We look forward to continuing to share this exciting journey with them as the project develops."

A big thank you to Bray and Slaughter and Coreus Group for helping pupils at Yatton Infant School to feel involved in what is sure to be a very exciting time for the school.
