Building for the Future: Heritage Appeal Lunch and Tour

To mark the completion of Phase 3 of the College's 10 year programme to restore and protect its historic Victorian red brick buildings, Headmaster Jonathan Anderson hosted lunch in the boardroom to say 'thank you' to some of our longstanding Heritage Appeal donors.

Before lunch, OC and Project Manager, Max Porter, took guests on a tour of the recently restored buildings, explaining the skill and craftsmanship needed to return the Grade B1 listed property to its original state.

The next phase of the restoration programme is due to start this autumn and will include New House and the small tower. From stone repairs, brick repointing and replacement of heritage windows, to protection of chimney stacks and roof refurbishment, all aspects of the buildings need attention.

As a Voluntary B Grammar School, Campbell College receives no financial assistance from Government for any capital expenditure, so all capital costs are self-funded through the pupil capital fee, College funds and the ‘Building for the Future’ Fundraising Campaign. 

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who continues to donate to the Heritage Appeal. Your generosity ensures that these iconic buildings will be enjoyed by future generations of Campbellians.

If you would like to find out more about the restoration programme, please view the video below. If you would like to donate to the Heritage Appeal, please click on the following link DONATE, or contact us at development@campbellcollege.co.uk.
