Over the summer, while the College was free of pupils, builders and our maintenance team were hard at work behind the scenes completing all the finishing touches in time for the start of term.
At the front of the College, one of the most noticeable changes is the addition of fencing, pillars and gates. The safety and security of the College’s pupils has always been important, and this installation continues to ensure this. The gates include automated access which will be introduced later in the term.
In the Stableyard, the home of Lower School, the new classroom block continues to make great progress. The outline of the building is now discernible, and the roof is now being installed. In Lower School itself, the Chill Zone and HQ have been given a refresh with new wallpaper, carpet, and furniture. Additionally, one of the classrooms, Stableyard 8, has been converted into a drama classroom.
Everett House now has an additional dayroom in place of an unused kitchen and in the John Turner building, the art and photography classrooms have had a new lighting system installed. In Skipwith House, the Harrison Room has been transformed with new lights and furniture giving the room a much brighter look.
