HRH The Duchess of Cornwall

HRH The Duchess of Cornwall opens Tudor’s Teaching Centre

On 29th January we were honoured to welcome HRH The Duchess of Cornwall to Tudor Hall to formally open the £6.2 million Teaching Centre and meet pupils, staff and the wider Tudor community.

The Teaching Centre is the largest and most ambitious addition to Tudor facilities to date and sits at the heart of the school site. It houses teaching space for the core subjects of mathematics and English, as well as specialist facilities for the creative arts subjects of textiles, ceramics, food & nutrition and photography, and will be used by every girl from Todd (Year 7) to Upper Sixth.

Her Royal Highness had the opportunity to meet pupils from Tudor Hall, Carrdus School, Tudor Hall’s prep school, and William Morris Primary School on Bretch Hill, Tudor Hall’s partner school. After meeting the pupils, Her Royal Highness formally opened the Teaching Centre by cutting a ribbon made specially for the occasion by the school’s textiles department. She then toured the building meeting teaching staff and pupils as they enjoyed lessons in the new teaching space.

It has been a long journey from the inception of the Teaching Centre to its completion, and the building would not have been possible without the huge generosity of our community. In total £2.29 million has been raised through philanthropic giving and we are grateful to all our donors. The official opening was a fitting way to mark the end of this journey. R
