City Learning Centre - Doncaster North CLC at Don Valley School
You may have noticed the large, modern building near the top of Jossey Lane at Don Valley School. This is our City Learning Centre, which opened in September 2003.
The
CLC is designed to help Doncaster and its schools to meet a number of
key educational and social challenges, most notably the need to raise
standards and to carry through an effective programme of regeneration.
It will play a key role in Doncaster's Education City Plans.
The
aim of the CLC is to become a centre of excellence for developing the
use of new technologies in teaching and learning, collating and sharing
best practice from all sources on behalf of schools and other partners
in learning.
The CLC will provide access to state of the art learning technology to children and young people, local residents and businesses.
They will also collaborate with spoke secondary schools, primary and special schools on staff training and the development of innovative approaches to teaching and learning using new technology.
Rooms planned include a Music Technology suite, Creative Arts suite, Video conferencing, links with business and a Virtual Learning Environment.
It is a highly prestigious facility - and an impressive building as the
architect's sketch shows:
A series of photos showing the progression of the building are available here.
The CLC web site was launched on 20th September 2003 to coincide with the CLC Open Day. See it here!
