A school is preparing to enter a new era with the demolition of its eyesore buildings ahead of a 10 million revamp.
North Cambridge Academy was fast-tracked by the Government for the rebuild after the buildings were described by former headteacher Ben Slade, who left the school when it was known as The Manor, as "resembling a 1960s car park".
The construction project, which saw the demolition process start today, is seen as a crucial part of the school's turnaround. It had the ninth worst GCSE results in the country in 2012, where just one in five pupils got at least five A*-C grades including English and maths.
This year's results saw a dramatic improvement, but principal Martin Campbell said the old buildings were not "fit for purpose" and children had for many years been taught in classrooms that were in "a state of disrepair and dilapidation".
He said this week: "It's great to see work now fully underway to create a state-of-the-art North Cambridge Academy.
"We want to give young people the top quality education they deserve at the very heart of their community. We believe this new facility will do just that.
"So much has happened since we opened in September 2013. GCSE results have improved hugely, we've introduced a new house system and we feel part of the community.
"Now the Academy and its students are set to get some fantastic facilities and these will help us to continue on our upward trajectory."
The new school in Arbury Road will be constructed alongside the existing buildings meaning the school will continue to function on the site during the works, which is being carried out by Wates Construction Northern Home Counties & East.

The 31-storey flats will disappear from Glasgow's skyline by summer 2016, Glasgow Housing Association (GHA) said.
Built in 1969, the Whitevale and Bluevale high-rises in the Gallowgate area stand 279 feet (85 metres) tall.
They will be taken apart piece by piece by workers from demolition firm Safedem using a special platform at the top of the towers.

Alex McGuire from GHA's parent company Wheatley Group said: "The Gallowgate Twins have a special place in people's hearts and in Glasgow's history, but their time has come to an end.
"This unique demolition is another important step in the ongoing regeneration of housing in the city and will ensure our homes are fit for future generations."
The blocks have been set for demolition for several years, with some tenants moving into a GHA development across the road.
Others transferred to GHA homes in other areas and into houses operated by other social landlords.
Safedem will begin lifting the platform on to the roof of 109 Bluevale Street next month. Work is expected to be completed by next summer and the demolition of 51 Whitevale Street will begin soon after.
The platform technique lets workers remove walls and floors from top to bottom without using scaffolding.

Port Hueneme, CA (PRWEB) December 17, 2014
Award winning, Ventura, CA based Information Technology services provider VSolvit (pronounced We Solve it) signed a Navy Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division (NSWC PHD) to accelerate the development of an innovative cyber security concept, a first for NSWC PHD. The agreement, which involves VSolvits Cyber Intelligent Assessment Risk Management Systems (Ci-ARMS), was jointly signed by CAPT Eric Ver Hage, NSWC PHDs commanding officer and Michael Poole, VSolvits Director of West Coast Operations December 1, 2014. The VSolvit team is delighted and looking forward to working with NSWC PHD to further our combined capabilities in Cybersecurity Risk Assessment and support our warfighter. This CRADA represents an important extension of our capabilities beyond the historical excellence in Business Intelligence, Data Warehousing, and GIS application development. Payal Kamdar, our CEO sends her thanks to NSWC PHD, CAPT Ver Hage and Greg Wakatsuki for bringing this CRADA to fruition. said Poole.
A CRADA is an agreement between one or more Federal Labs and one or more non-Federal parties to conduct mutually beneficial research and development to create products that benefit the government, in this case the Fleet. Ver Hage shared his enthusiasm about the event, The signing of this CRADA has the power to transform our organization. Im confident that the positives that come out of this agreement will benefit the warfighter, NSWC PHD and our sponsors. This CRADA allows us to be innovative and collaborative and offers an opportunity to grow the local economy. With this agreement, were not going to our sponsors for funding but rather were pursuing a solution that will strengthen our brand.
As an outgrowth of our mission to facilitate technology transfers with third parties, the signing of this CRADA with VSolvit is memorable. With a CRADA, we have the unique ability to collaborate with outside companies in the research and development of a product and then we let the Navy test drive the new product to determine whether or not it meets the demanding needs of the Fleet. said Greg Wakatsuki, NSWC PHDs Office of Research and Technology Applications.
As a result of its successful history working with NSWC PHD, VSolvit was chosen as a cooperative research partner to assist in developing a cyber intelligence assessment system that would help the Navy assess cyber vulnerabilities aboard ships. With ever increasing cyber security threats to defense systems, the military has taken a proactive approach to tackle these challenges. The purpose of this CRADA reinforces VADM William H. Hilarides, NAVSEA commanders focus on improving cybersecurity across the Fleet. Combining the resources of VSolvit and NSWC PHD will allow us to move more quickly into concept development and feasibility to determine if a jointly developed product can determine if a ship has cyber vulnerabilities and how to resolve them, Wakatsuki said. This type of collaboration has the ability to provide a dramatically improved level of cyber assessment and risk management.
The objective of Ci-ARMS is to integrate existing cyber security sensors and related cyber security operational processes into an end-to-end enterprise system.Ci-ARMS provides a holistic view of infrastructures, data centers, networks, and systems (combined assets) by leveraging existing security sensor systems.
