Facilities for Hire

The school has a wide range of versatile spaces that may be hired by the local community.  After a substantial building programme, the school now has some fantastic new spaces including a large performance hall, a new 14 classroom block and some wonderful sporting facilities such as the full size synthetic turf pitch (3G), a 3 tennis court size multi-use games area and the latest addition of a new sports hall.
 
The contemporary architectural design of the new buildings has merged sympathetically with the old and gives the whole school site an inspiring, spacious campus feel.  The classrooms are set around an attractive courtyard that is an extra asset to be enjoyed especially during the warmer spring and summer months.
 
Please find details of specific facilities below:

This hall offers approximately 280m² (16m x 17.50m) of floor space with the seating retracted.  It is an excellent performance space and the tiered bleacher seating offers 244 seats with the ability to provide additional rows of seating at the floor level.  There is an Epson windows based projector and screen with sound available for presentations. 

Ideal for large events or performances, often used for parties or quiz nights.
