At last - our new build

It's been a while. There's only so much time you can put up with the facilities we had before becoming thoroughly disenfranchised...but we moved into our new build after the Easter holidays and it has made a huge difference.

We now have 8 rooms (including 5 small and one large practise rooms), the bigger ones of which each have 15 computers. Every key stage 3 student is opening an artist account (we're about halfway there) and will be recording tracks. We have an after school numu club but in truth the kids are coming in at all hours to explore numu and record their own tracks.

We're about to have a training session for some of our kids in the hope that we will be able to select a core of responsible students to help run the label - I'm looking forward to that.

I always knew it could be like this and it's fantastic fun coming to school again!

So check out www.numu.org.uk/spark to hear some of the students making full use of numu.
