The College is delighted to announce that generous funds have been secured to begin the restoration of the Towers building at Tettenhall College. The funding, in excess of £2,250,000 will finance the complete re-roofing of the building.
This begins the process of the renovation of the interior of the Towers Building. Towers is not only a unique piece of the nation’s architectural heritage, it is also a hugely important part of the academic, cultural and social life of the College for pupils, parents, staff and OTs.
Work has already begun and excellent progress has been made on this large infrastructure project. Protecting the heritage of Tettenhall College while nurturing the growth of our current Tettenhallians and future OTs is a central aim of the College.
The careful restoration of our historical buildings which mean so much to OTs, current pupils and ‘Friends of TC’ is a development we like to keep everyone up to date on.

The careful restoration of the interior of Towers, for the benefit of current and future Tettenhallians is part of the planned growth of the College. In recent years the College roll has increased to over 500. A gift of £25,000 would provide for the complete refurbishment of a room in Colonel Thorneycroft’s beloved Towers and return a classroom to use for our young learners of today. As the sponsor, your room would be named after you, or a person you wish to be remembered, in this way.
N.B. The nominee of the sponsor will have their name displayed within the room or immediately outside, on the door or a heritage giving wall within Towers. If a sponsor wishes to remain anonymous, this will be fully respected.
