Soil excavation

Headmaster site visit

02 March 2023

Construction is progressing really well, with soil excavation the main focus for the team at Vaughan Constructions, the builders for our Centre for Science, Creativity and Entrepreneurship. The Headmaster, Ross Featherston visited the site today to gain an insight into the progression of the project. A large amount of soil has been removed and the sheer size of the land is discernible as St Andrew’s Church spire stands tall in the distant background. Brighton Grammar School is looking forward to the strengthened connection that this Centre will enable with St Andrew’s. The next step in the construction phase will be piling.
