It was wonderful to host a large group of interested OPs, former staff and parents at our OPs Science Centre Preview and Brunch on Saturday 13 May.

The group, who were warmly welcomed by Foundation Principal, Ed Hester, enjoyed a delicious brunch in the Refectory before setting off in three groups to be ably toured round the construction site by Architect, Tony Pugh, Project Manager, Alex Darkes and Deputy Head (Academic), Michael Spencer.

Contractors were hard at work while the parties toured the two floors, taking in the ten laboratories, break out area, prep rooms and staff bases. All were suitably impressed by the progress to date including the space, facilities, views and the positive impact the Science Centre will have on other areas of the campus when it comes online.

The build is on schedule to be handed over to the College in the summer and will be officially opened early next academic year.

Our next OPs event is the Summer Supper Reunion on Friday 23 June, this event is aimed specifically at those celebrating their 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th and 50th year of leaving the College, so if you were in a Leaving Class with a 3 at the end of it, do visit Princethorpe Connect for more details and to sign up. OPs from other year groups are most welcome too of course.
