The Crest Boys' Academy

Wates Construction was awarded the £37m Crest Academy project in 2011.  The project will see the development of two new Academies in Brent, London.

The new 18,800 sq metre Crest Girls’and Crest Boy’s Academies will consist of four separate buildings, one for girls and one for boys, with the two central buildings housing specialist subjects and sports. Reaching five storeys, each building will offer modern flexible teaching facilities including laboratory and workshop space and two indoor sports halls.  Two multi-use games areas will be provided outside. The Academies as a whole have been arranged around a full height atrium in order to maximise natural light.

We would like to congratulate all the boys that travelled on the 332 bus after school on 08 September 2011. We received an encouraging letter from a member of public that travelled on the same bus. See below:

Dear Head

I can hardly believe that I have been moved to write to you.  I came home this afternoon on the upper deck of the 332 bus (heading towards Paddington) to see a sea of pupils about to board the bus just before 4pm.  My heart sank.  My usual experience of a bus filling with secondary school children after school, especially on the upper deck, is of a very noisy and occasionally intimidating ride.
