String is showing as blank. I don't know why?

Hi,

This should be pretty basic,
I have a vf page to display the value of the name field of a record in a custom object called 'Certification_Accredited_Centres__c'
I also have a controller that the vf page uses.

The URL passes a paramater 'centreId' which is the id of the record I am trying to get the name value of.

At the moment all I am getting on the vf page is "Assesments taken at      " <-- the string is blank

VF Page (not complete) 
<apex:page controller="AddingAssessmentsController>
<h3>
<apex:outputText value="Assesments taken at {!asscen}"/>
</h3>
</apex:page>
Controller (not complete) 
public class AddingAssessmentsController {

    public Id centreId;
    
    public String asscen{get;set;}
    
    public AddingAssessmentsController(){
        centreId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('centreId');
        String asscen = [SELECT name from Certification_Accredited_Centres__c WHERE id =: centreId].name;
    }
}

Please can someone tell me why the {!asscen} is blank in the vf page?

Thanks
Joe

You have declared asscen variable inside too. Remove declaration part.
Here is correct code: 
public class AddingAssessmentsController {

    public Id centreId;
    
    public String asscen{get;set;}
    
    public AddingAssessmentsController(){
        centreId = ApexPages.currentPage().getParameters().get('centreId');
        asscen = [SELECT name from Certification_Accredited_Centres__c WHERE id =: centreId].name;
    }
}
