Facilities

The innovative design of our campus blends the school’s heritage with the needs of modern education. The extensive site and suite of buildings open up possibilities for the school to deliver a more flexible curriculum, offer more facilities to the wider community, and provide high-quality learning spaces for pupils and excellent working environments for staff. We are immensely proud of our sporting facilities: astroturf, the 3G ‘Dave Clark Arena’, grass pitches for rugby, cricket, football and athletics, tennis/netball courts, sports hall and fitness suite, plus a custom-designed pavilion.

We offer well-equipped science labs, DT workshops, food technology rooms, music-recording, dance, drama and art studios, rehearsal rooms, plus a fantastic library space with over 15,000 books and a wide selection of magazine, comics and board games for our students to borrow.

The school’s design and construction encompasses every element of sustainability, including transport, food miles, healthy lifestyles and energy use.

The Sixth Form Centre, housed in a creatively conserved Grade II listed building, sits independently within the school site, helping to create a college feel for the Sixth Form whilst maintaining very close links with the school. There are restaurants in the school and Sixth Form centre offering an extensive choice of meal options for break and lunchtime.
