Building Update

One of the many benefits of becoming an Academy is that a

substantial amount of money is invested in new and/or

refurbished buildings and facilities. In total just

under £25 million will be invested in the Francis Combe Academy.

Please see below a virtual tour of our new academy building.

Building work will commence on the site from approximately June 2010

and will be completed by August 2012.
