In the purpose-built studios, due to be updated as part of the school's visionary ten-year plan, you will frequently find pupils working on original creative projects during the day, evenings and at weekends, tailored to individual interest. The three studios have flexible work space that facilitate work across specialisms that include ceramics and sculpture, textiles, lens and light based media, and a variety of printmaking methodologies; beyond the usual two dimensional techniques and approaches in drawing and painting. This is in addition to a photographic dark room, design-technology equipment, life drawing, and anatomical, still life resources. The entire Adobe Creative Cloud suite is also available to all students.
The excellent sports facilities on-site include a 25m, six-lane swimming pool, state-of-the-art sports hall (complete with climbing wall and cricket nets) gymnasium, dance studio, 20 tennis courts (comprising 12 astro courts for the Summer Term and 8 hard courts), 8 netball courts, a full-sized astro-turf pitch, grass pitches and a superbly equipped fitness suite.
