alongside refurbished class rooms with interactive white boards. The new extension was nominated by Broxtowe Borough Council – both for Design and Standard of Construction, in February 2009, however, the nomination could not be founded due to the construction, leading to the findings of structural problems in the existing building. While completing these works, and re-roofing the building it was discovered to have brittle concrete, the problem was caused by high alumina cement or Calcium aluminate cements, which was used in the construction of buildings in the Nottinghamshire county between the 1950s and 1970s. Subsequently, the refurbished building was never opened to students and the entire building was condemned for use due to its instability. Years 7&8 were moved to the two other schools in the federation as they had spare capacity, Years 9-13 remained in the safe buildings at Bramcote Hills. . Following a Nottinghamshire County Council Report on 14 May 2009 it was revealed there are further problems with the 'safe' buildings currently being used. The Design and Technology block was closed, as the building could not safely support the concrete roof. The work to rectify this problem was completed in the summer of 2009 by re-enforcing the windows with steel, and repairing foundations to reinstate the full block. In the Summer of 2009 demolition of the unsafe blocks in the upper school was completed, demolishing the science block, 3 storey tower block, and the 6th form block, leaving the gym, changing rooms, barn, and the art and music block, built by more recent construction. Prompt demolition was favoured to reduce the running costs of empty buildings. Closure The unsafe buildings put the future of the School and site into media speculation. The school and federation and Nottinghamshire County Council opened a consultation on the closure of Bramcote Hills Sports and Community College, and for Alderman While School and Language College to take over the remaining 'safe' buildings on the site, creating a split site school. This created a 14-19 College on the site in the existing buildings. Nottinghamshire County Council formally approved that the school close on 31 August 2009, with current students on role being transferred to Alderman White School and Language College. Future of the site The site is now part of Alderman White School and Language College however the issues still remain current for the existing buildings. Alderman White under the White Hills Park
