The Cafeteria project has finally started!  Site handover officially took place today.

Expected completion date is August 2016.

11 January 2016 

The Cafeteria project has reached the stage of preparing for tender.  This means we will be giving building companies/contractors the option to quote on the project and then the SGB will study the presentations of the different quotes and make a decision as to which contractor to choose.

We are hoping that building work will start by March 2016.

Two weeks and we have altered the face of Edgemead dramatically.  The walls have come down, opening up the area that will be used for seating, and the foundations for the terrace and the kitchen have been dug. 

Please be aware that this is a construction site and no entry is allowed by any parent or pupil.  There will be construction vehicles on our property at times – be careful please.

The Cafeteria is rapidly taking shape.  Interior plastering is almost finished and the ceilings are due to be put in over the next week.  Meetings are taken up choosing tiles, counter tops and paving, while checking that we are on target financially and ready to hand over site in mid-September.  All very exciting.  Our next challenge is to choose the name for the cafeteria from all the options and ideas put forward by the school.

We are making super progress, the kitchen, scullery and storeroom walls are almost completed.  Standing on site at the site meeting gives a lovely perspective of the school building, which I am sure the pupils are going to appreciate once the facility is completed.  Finishes are being chosen for cupboards, floors and walls and this adds to the excitement.

Four weeks to completion and we can see the cafeteria rapidly taking shape.  The kitchen cupboards are being installed and tiling of the kitchen area is complete.  The rest of the tiling will start very soon and the sliding doors are installed (without glass).  The space is starting to look very impressive and we are looking forward to being able to show it off once completed.
