The school will be operated by Aspire Academy Trust. It is being built by Midas and designed by Francis Robert Architects and Alan Leather Associates, and co-funded by the Department for Education. 

 

The school will have 14 classrooms, giving enough space for 420 children at capacity. 

 

Ben Murphy, estate director at The Duchy of Cornwall, said: "The topping out marks a significant milestone in the construction of Skol Nansledan and we are thrilled to see the excellent progress being made. It is a fantastic school building designed in the arts and crafts style by Dominic Roberts and built to a very high standard by Midas.

 

"The school was always going to be an important part of this thriving Nansledan community and it was important to us that we made sure it was delivered at the earliest opportunity. We are all really looking forward to it opening its doors for the first time later this year."

 

Andrew Fielder, chief executive of Aspire Academy Trust, said: "We are committed to providing an outstanding education at Skol Nansledan from day one.  Following an innovative STEAM curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics), the children will embark upon a learning journey packed full of adventure, discovery, experience and fun. 

 

"After all, they are the innovators, educators, leaders and learners of the 21st century and the school motto ‘Today’s Learners, Tomorrow’s Leaders’ reflects this.  We cannot wait to welcome our first intake of pupils in September."

 

Steve Rosewell, operational director at Midas, said: "The new school is looking fantastic already and is clearly going to be a beautiful landmark for Nansledan. We’re proud to involved, to be continuing our strong relationship with the Duchy of Cornwall and to be marking this milestone in creating an excellent new facility for the children and community here."

Many construction contractors and clients require contractor staff to hold and display Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) smart-cards, which prove their qualifications, before allowing them on site. 

 

Here at Time and Attendance South West, we are an IT partner of the CSCS. This means that we can provide seamless integration between the CSCS smartcard and our WinTA.NET software, which provides time management, visitor/contractor management and fire/evacuation roll-call systems. 

 

The integration takes the end-user form of a CSCS “card wizard”. This set of rules allows a company to quickly grant construction contractors recognition by and access to our hardware, such as clocking terminals, turnstiles, and door controllers. The wizard will run one of three scenarios when giving access rights to contractors. These are:

 

• Contractors who are completely new to the system.

• Contractors whose name exists on the system but their CSCS card has not been entered.

• Contractors who are fully recorded on the system and have used their card at other sites, but are new to this particular site.

 

For each different scenario the wizard will guide the user through the enrolment procedure. The result is that:

 

• The contractor’s CSCS card is read (using a USB card reader attached to a Tensor.NET Client PC)

• Details are extracted from the card to update the contractor’s details within the system

• Options such as a company, site, shift group and department are assigned to the cardholder

 

To make it easier to include new contractors in your site’s existing health and safety and security procedures, please contact us today. We can handle any size site: our Enterprise software is able to perform for global, multi-site corporations with thousands of employees/users, while our Start edition helps small businesses with between 10 – 50 users.
