The proposal involves the construction of a standalone Sports Centre that will provide modern, fit-for-purpose facilities for physical education, sport, and wellbeing activities. This project responds to longstanding challenges with the school’s existing provision, which is currently outdated and undersized.

The proposed facility will include the following spaces and features:

• A large multi-purpose Sports Hall that combines gymnasium functions and is capable of accommodating a full-size basketball court or five badminton courts.

• A dedicated Fitness Suite with equipment to support strength, conditioning and cardiovascular training.

• A Dance, Drama and Lecture space suitable for a range of curricular and extra-curricular activities.

• A Physical Education classroom, in line with Department of Education standards.

• Modern changing rooms and washroom facilities for both pupils and staff.

• An office for PE staff, as well as associated support areas including a hygiene room and tea point.

• A double-height internal circulation space providing access and visibility across key areas.

• An external pedestrian bridge to provide accessible connection to the upper-level grass sports pitches.

The Sports Centre forms part of the school’s long-term masterplan and has been carefully designed to integrate with the existing campus.
