The ribbon has been cut on a new Sixth Form block at a Lichfield school.

Queen’s Croft High School has built the new facility – which includes pool table and comfy areas – to give students a place to relax.

The official opening was carried out by former student, Charlotte Aspley, who now works as a community champion for Tesco.

Sam Wood and Letitia Carter, new co-headteachers at the school – which caters for pupils aged between 11-19 with moderate learning difficulties – thanked the governors for their support in making the project a reality. 

Sam said:

> “The opening of the Sixth Form block is a huge milestone for Queen’s Croft.  
>  
> “It means that we can now connect our curriculum to a fresh, modern and inspiring learning environment for the students.   
>  
> “They will greatly benefit from a discrete and purposeful learning environment solely for them, which will really prepare our students for life, work and the wider world beyond Queen’s Croft.  
>  
> “The project would not have happened without the full support of the local governing body who have championed our vision and supported the Senior Leadership Team from the start.”

> Sam Wood

Queen’s Croft has more than 200 pupils – and although it has always had a Sixth Form provision, this has been integrated within the main school building. 

However, work was undertaken over the summer holidays after requests from pupils for a separate area.

Letitia said:

> “The money was spent on creating four distinct areas that match the curriculum we offer here at Queen’s Croft. These include hospitality and catering, land-based studies, retail and admin and sports leadership.  
>  
> “Students can now learn in an environment that is meaningful and purposeful to the curriculum pathway that they choose. For example, if a student chooses sports leadership, they now have a gym that is part of the classroom.   
>  
> “If they choose hospitality and catering, they learn in a fully-equipped kitchen and café environment.”
