In recent years we have seen major changes to the structure of our secondary school system with our traditional schools being replaced by five new ‘super schools’.

Change brings concern and our young people certainly had to endure disruption as the Building Schools for the Future programme was introduced.

Some schools have prospored, some have struggled, but they have all had one hell of a rollercoaster ride with more ups and downs to come.
