A new two-storey extension will create essential space for the arts, with a striking public entrance designed for community use during school hours. Mature trees and bespoke landscaping will frame an elegant arrival, complemented by outdoor seating and a performance area ideal for summer concerts and gatherings.
A separate, secure school entrance via The Quad will provide easy daytime access for pupils and staff.
To the west, a modern, flexible space will offer facilities for rehearsals, exhibitions, smaller events, and an intimate concert venue with box office.
The original Memorial Hall will be transformed into a state-of-the-art, sound-proofed theatre with raked seating for 160, a professional sound and lighting booth, and sprung flooring for dance.
The extension will also include a sound-proofed, multi-use studio for music, dance, and drama rehearsals.
