Due to its continuing success and despite the difficult economic climate, the School is investing in a new Dean Close Prep new building investmentbuilding which is due to be completed in autumn 2013.

The building will provide a ‘state of the art’ multi-purpose school hall. This will be used for drama, music performances, school assemblies and examinations and includes a Proscenium arch, which separates the auditorium from the stage and backstage facilities, including a Green Room and storage for costumes.

Attached to the new hall are eight teaching areas, which will be located over two floors and will include a dedicated IT suite and Drama rooms.

These new classrooms will enable the School to locate subjects much more in faculty groups to further advance cross-curricular teaching and learning.

A music suite will also be included which will link the current Music School to the new drama and performance space. The new music suite comprises six music practice rooms including a dedicated guitar room.

The building will also provide a formal reception area where parents and visitors can be welcomed into the School. The building is designed to fit very well into its immediate surroundings by being respectful of the neighbouring buildings, but in a contemporary manner reflecting the aspirations of the School.
