Glossop Children Learn Housebuilding Lesson
Children at Dinting Church of England VA Primary School in Dinting Vale, Glossop had a lesson in housebuilding during a visit from Wain Homes.
We visited the school to talk to the children about the many different career opportunities in the construction industry, as well as making them aware of the importance of safety on and around a building site.
Work recently began on our Brookstone Walk development of family homes in Glossop, and we were invited into the school to raise awareness about the range of careers young people can find in housebuilding.
Karl Richmond, contracts manager at Wain Homes, said: “As a responsible builder of family homes, we take our role in the community seriously and particularly enjoy opportunities to support our younger generation. All the children showed a real interest in how their homes are built and demonstrated a real understanding of the different types of jobs people can do in construction.
“It was great to see the children thinking about all the different careers involved in building their new homes, not only on construction sites, but also in areas such as planning, sales and customer service. I wouldn’t be surprised if some of them find long and rewarding careers in our industry after they leave school.”
Lynn Elliott, headteacher at Dinting Church of England VA Primary, said: “Thank you to Karl and the team from Wain Homes who gave our children an interesting and interactive presentation on new homes.
“It is very important for young people to understand safety around building sites, as well as giving them ideas for future careers so it was a very worthwhile and rewarding session for our students.”
