On Thursday 20 November 2008 3 of the Baildon Parish Councillors had a guided tour of the newly built Titus Salt School. Mrs. Mansfield, the head, gave Cllrs. Joe Ashton, Alan Smith and Paul Marfell a tour of the school. Baildon should be proud of the school. Many people may argue that good work does not have to depend on the environment but an open, welcoming and embracing environment helps everyone, staff and pupils, achieve their aims. Mrs. Mansfield explained that many of the fixtures and fittings had been chosen with quality in mind. This is then reflected in the way it is treated which then more than repays any extra cost involved. Cllr. Marfell is keen to help the school promote itself in the community and is sure that the school and Parish Council will be working together in the future. Cllr Smith said It is great that the school is keen to work with the local community and look at ways they can use the fantastic facilities available at the school. The head pointed out how well the pupils have coped during building work and praised their positive response to the new building. The local community have also been supportive whilst work has been going. As an example Salts Sports allowed the school access to their sports facilities. |

A School for the Future In 2002 Salt was chosen to spearhead the first phase of Bradford’s £400million Building Schools for the Future programme along with two other schools. Following a long and detailed planning process the design and build team was appointed in January 2006. The consortium Integrated Bradford, is led by Amey, Costain and HSBC Infrastructure Fund Management and supported by Ferrovial Agroman and Sun Microsystems. The architects have worked in partnership with staff, students and the wider community to create a school that is not only at the forefront of design for teaching and learning but one that reflects the needs of the community as a whole. Building work began in earnest in January 2007 and a tremendous amount of work was put in for the doors to open in September 2008. |
