Retrieved on 2007-06-11] :
* A new teaching block, taking up part of the area where the school's current tennis courts lie
* 4 new tennis courts on currently unused field area
* A new sports hall in the 'spinney' (a wooded area on the school site)
* A new playground in front of the school's largest teaching block, the 'B Block'
* A new car park to help deal with local parking issues, which will take up the remainder of the current tennis court areaThe school intends to minimise impact on the local environment by avoiding significant loss of trees. The project will also involve the planting of new trees, and using trees which are required to be cut down as wood-chip paths and for the construction of a gazebo-type structure in the 'spinney'.
