Expansion of the school’s pupil capacity from 600 to 840 required an extension and new catering facilities. With a high degree of refurbishment also required time scales where always going to be a challenge.

The school’s capacity has been increased from 600 pupils between the ages of 11 and 16 to allow provision for 840 boys. Works comprised of the construction of a new kitchen and new extension block. 

These works were complimented by a series of minor works within the existing buildings (refurbished WC’s, new ramp (between ground & upper ground), first floor refurbished teaching and support space & refurbished art room). The design of the extension is three-storey’s high, steel frame construction with brick at ground floor and metal cladding at upper floors. Internally, the extension consists of 7 no. classrooms (including science laboratories, ICT classrooms, music and food technology rooms) with adjacent learning/storage spaces, common resource areas and staff/admin offices.
