The Hadley Learning Community opened in September 2006. One year on, we return to see how staff and pupils have adapted to their new high-tech environment.
Built at a cost of over £70m, the school was hailed as a futuristic extended school. It contains both primary and secondary phases, co-sited with nursery provision, community sports facilities and a special school for children with profound learning difficulties.
Will the first year's GCSE results bear out the HLC's vision for an exciting and radical cross-phase curriculum?
