Place & story

The official opening in 2011

On 7 December 2011 the Duchess of Gloucester visited Jordanstown School for the official opening of its new facility. The Northern Ireland Office’s account describes assistive technology, testing and therapy facilities, a sensory courtyard and specialist teaching spaces. The visit included the speech and language therapy unit, science laboratory and home-economics suite. These details record how the new building combined classroom teaching with communication support and therapy. [2]
