Dyson School of Design Innovation

We have been contacted by Bruce Austen, the Project Manager of the Dyson School of Design Innovation.

He notes that Oldfield Ward lies within the general area surrounding the proposed School and reminds us that they have submitted our planning application and we aim to open the School in September 2009.

They are keen to meet community groups in Oldfield Park who may like the opportunity to meet the Project Team face to face, to allow local residents to ask questions, raise concerns and hear more about the rationale for the School, the design and perhaps also offer suggestions about the way in which the School can create, develop and maintain links with the local community.

Please let us know if your community group would be interested in taking this opportunity.

Dyson School of Design Innovation

The website for the Dyson School of Design Innovation has been updated.

The update follows several months of activity particularly regarding the design of the building and follows a highly successful public consultation event. Dyson is moving towards the submission of a new planning application later this month.

The website address is www.dysonschool.com

You can see the comments they received during our public event by following the "Have Your Say" link on the homepage. You can also see some "visualisations" of the new design for the building.

The website will be updated regularly and will begin to carry information regarding the curriculum offer, progress on planning and design and will also give news of events planned with young people in the area in order to encourage them to think widely about their potential educational and career pathways.

If you have any questions please contact the Project Manger:
