Two new build buildings to provide enhanced facilities for the school comprising a study centre and a sixth form boarding house and social space.
The Study Centre will be equipped to enable students and teachers to use the latest technology for independent learning and teaching. The ground floor will house a classroom, open plan study spaces, library, IT resources and a careers and higher education area. The first floor will provide a dedicated Sixth Form study area, further IT resources and a classroom.
The boarding house will benefit all Sixth Form students, day and boarders, and will include new social areas, study spaces and a higher education and careers centre.
The study centre and boarding house are being built in close proximity to each other and near the heart of the school. They will create a dynamic new hub to the campus that will encourage lively and creative interaction between day and boarding students.
