It will be used for hospitality and catering courses for 14-19 year olds, and child development, health and social care, society, health and development courses for the same age group. One of the rooms is equipped with computers; the others make use of laptops on a trolley which can move from room to room. The new rooms will accommodate about 100 students at a time, and these could include students from other schools in the Wolds collaboration. The project was carried out by the County Council, heads and chairs of governors at the local schools, representatives from further education, Lincoln University and local businesses.
