XP East site visit: ‘Signing of the Steel’

Wednesday 18th October was a special day for the students and staff at XP East, as we all got to visit the new build site for the first time.

We were grateful to the construction staff at Willmott Dixon who were kind enough to not only gives us a brief tour into the heart of the building, but also created a safe pathway in which to access the site.

Students were really excited to sign a steel girder with their names, and although this will be boxed in by the builders at a later date it is symbolic of the fact they will be the pioneering year group for XP East. We discussed how we could drive past the building in decades to come, and we would know that our names are actually within the fabric of the building.

Any students who were absent will also get an opportunity to also sign their names.
