The first scheme is to develop plans for our much-needed Sports Hall and the second scheme is for a Sixth Form block which would allow the pupils of Hodge Hill to have access to post-16 education in their locality.
Together they represent an exciting vision for Hodge Hill College, its staff, pupils and the wider community. We do hope you will all support these developments and convince the City Council to support them by accessing central government funding to finance the building of the schemes.
