Students from Ealing Fields High School have viewed their new permanent site at Place House which they hope to move in to by 2020.

Two students from each of the year groups (Years 7-9) attended a service held to bless the site - formerly St Anne's Convent and then King Fahad Academy on Little Ealing Lane - ahead of the upcoming demolition and construction phase of the project.

Led by the Assistant Area Dean Revd Carolyn Dunk and the Trust Chaplain Revd David Brammer, the service was attended by staff and governor representatives of Ealing Fields and members of the project teams at the DfE, Bowmer + Kirkland and the Twyford CofE Academies Trust.

Bowmer + Kirkland, the contractors for Place House building project, took formal possession of the Place House site on 21st January. Since then they have been carrying out pre-commencement works, such as setting up the site offices and services, a soft strip out of the existing buildings and clearing the landscape as well as engaging specialists for wood rot and damp.

Archaeological trenches were also dug and duly inspected by English Heritage. Members of the local history society also came to view the work carried out by the archaeological team from University College London.
