Recent Developments

The astro pitch on Gornhay The SH patch transformed into an all-weather play area

As an on-going commitment to development, over the summer period David Chambers (the Bursar) oversaw a whole flurry of significant improvements to the facilities on the campus. The East Pavillion up on AmoryNew all-weather cricket nets were built near the Beale Centre and saw constant use during the summer term. The Junior Department (School House) had the old grass ‘patch’ turned into a rubberised (but still green!) all-weather play area for the 120 11-13 year old pupils. An East Pavilion was built on Athletics, providing some storage but most importantly much needed WCs, which will be a great relief to many rugby and cricket spectators! A new roof (one that doesn’t leak) was put on the old sports hall, railings and new safer steps built to the Fives and Squash courts; all of which represents the first phase of a major overhaul in this area. The final major move forward has been the complete refurbishment of Petergate dormitories with modern bespoke furniture.
