Risedale School pupils were given a unique first-hand look at the changing face of Catterick Garrison during a "behind the scenes" field trip to the active Willmott Dixon construction site.
We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Willmott Dixon for hosting a site visit on Tuesday, 16th December, at the development currently underway at Shute Road, Catterick Garrison.
The visit was a resounding success; our Year 11 pupils were thoroughly engaged throughout the experience, impressing the site team by asking some fantastic, insightful questions. It is a rare privilege to have access to a major development of this scale right on our doorstep, providing a unique first-hand opportunity for pupils to explore the realities of the construction and engineering sectors without leaving the local area.
Funded by the Levelling Up Fund and North Yorkshire Council, this redevelopment is set to transform the town centre, and seeing it in the early stages proved invaluable for the pupils.
Risedale Careers Co-ordinator, Mrs Porritt, commented: "I would like to thank Hannah Blenkinsop, Chandler Webster, and Amy Campbell for organising this inspiring visit and hosting our pupils from Risedale School. It was amazing to hear about the diverse job roles involved in making this project a reality, even before Willmott Dixon started breaking ground.
"To be able to look around the site and see how rapidly the project is progressing—and visualise the finished result—was fascinating. It has given our pupils a lot to think about and opened up discussions regarding career pathways they hadn’t previously considered."
