Where might it be?

Skills Academy – Location -
Suggested Racybytes Hall and Old Bowls combined for practical use.
Smyrna Chapel added facility for theoretical learning, exams and 121 assessments.

The inclusion of research opportunities and partnerships with established academic institutions means the latest technologies are operating in our village.

Sustainable Energy - is the key fundamental principle of the project, its success is based on utilising technology, investment, solar PV, hydro and emerging technologies.
There is an added opportunity to make the NRG Academy an active building enabling the facility to run at neutral cost.

The inclusion of Power Houses / Active Homes for vulnerable members of our community is one of the new technologies that enable us to eradicate fuel poverty.
