Farringdon Academy Rebuild (Part 1, Jan to May 2025) - FlyDJI

Описание: Farringdon Community Academy (originally opened in 1956 as part of the post‑war Farringdon estate; converted to an academy in July 2013) is a co‑educational secondary school (ages 11–16) located in Farringdon, Sunderland.

It currently enrols around 670 - 885 pupils and operates under the Northern Education Trust since September 2023, overseen by head/principal, Mr Jordan Bedford.

The academy recently achieved its best-ever results in 2024: 74% of students secured grade 4+ in English & Maths (up from 55% in 2023); 57% achieved grade 5+.

Recently completed, a new £22 million building featuring state‑of‑the‑art science labs, IT suites, engineering workshops, a 300‑seat hall, drama studio, canteen, and spacious classrooms.

The rebuild is part of a broader School Rebuilding Programme, delivered by BAM Construction under the DfE, incorporating an indoor swimming pool, vocational spaces, an open-plan library, and SEN provision.

FlyDJI is tracking the build progress. This video is Part 1, spanning January 2025 to May 2025. As the work progresses, we will continue to track the changes and we'll drop a second video in December 2025.
