Yesterday saw the opening of the brand new building for Sirius Academy on Anlaby Park Road South.

The new building replaces the former Pickering High School, which will now be demolished and a 3G pitch built in its place.

Cllr Abigail Bell visited the completed Sirius Academy during the school summer holiday. “It was just fantastic to see the building completed, and I was blown away by it’s modern facilities”, she said.

Speaking to the students at Sirius Academy, they were also really pleased with their new school and excited about the start of the school term.

So congratulations to all the staff and students at Sirius Academy on their new school.
