CIS Cherry Hinton Hall - Grand Opening Event

On Thursday 8^th February 2018 Cambridge International School held the grand opening of its refurbished building at Cherry Hinton Hall, hosting a drinks reception in the newly built Okes Hall (named after the founders of the Hall, the Okes family).  Cherry Hinton Hall, Cambridge is home to the CIS Nursery and Primary School and has been undergoing a major refurbishment over the last seven months.

The evening provided the opportunity to thank everyone involved in the refurbishment project and to allow key representatives from the Cambridge community the opportunity to visit the building and take a tour of the stunning new learning facilities.  We were delighted to welcome so many of the people who had been involved in the planning, design and construction of the new facilities, alongside representatives from community groups, the local council, Cambridge School Heads, relocation agents and colleagues from International Schools Partnership.  We were particularly honoured to be joined by The Mayor of Cambridge, Cllr George Pippas, who formally opened the new facilities.  Student representatives from Years 5 & 6, along with senior students from The Temple, conducted tours for the guests and shared their delight with their new learning environment.   In his speech, ISP Managing Director, Steve Brown commented “I am very proud that the new CIS building has become part of the local community.”

The Mayor of Cambridge also remarked on how excellent the new facilities were and, that having been on the planning committee which approved the plans, he was delighted to have the opportunity to view the finished building and be involved in the opening event.

Mrs Mills, Principal of CIS, commented, “The newly refurbished Cherry Hinton Hall gives our students the opportunity to achieve amazing learning in an inspiring environment.  We are all thrilled by our wonderful new building.”

A good deal of positive feedback has been received from the evening’s guests and the refurbished building is certainly making a great impression on everyone who visits.
