PUPILS from two schools built on their academic skills with a construction workshop.

Teenagers from Year Nine at Langley Park Girls' School, Hawksbrook Lane, Beckenham, and Kemnal Technology College, Sevenoaks Way, Sidcup, tried their hands at building, plumbing and carpentry at Lewisham College.

They built a brick wall, soldered copper pipes and made wooden door wedges.

The event was organised by Bromley Education Business Partnership with Lewisham College and the Construction Industry Training Board.
