Learning Resources Centre
The School's new facilities were opened on 22 November by
Phil Redmond, Chairman of Mersey Television Company and Executive
Producer of Hollyoaks and Brookside, and
creator of Grange Hill. In a thought provoking speech,
he revealed that he had himself left school with four O levels
and one A, and had then worked his way through university
as a mature student, before deciding he wanted to be a teacher.
He was impressed by the new facilities, partly because they
brought excitement to learning, and partly that they showed
that the school was as excited as he is by the challenge of
new technologies and the opportunities they give to individuals
-- and to communities -- to progress in different directions.
Mr Redmond clearly believes, as we do at QKS, that this movement
away from the traditional separation of school and community
and towards an all-inclusive approach has enormous benefits
for us all.
