lanning permission has now been granted for
the new Sports Hall and building works are due
to commence on 9th July 2007. It is hoped that
the building will be completed within a year and
should be available for school use in September 2008.
The new building will be sited between the lower Tennis
Courts and the Hockey Pitch and will not require the removal
of any trees. Internally there will be a County standard hall
measuring 33 metres by 18 metres sufficient for three badminton
courts or one full size tennis court with run off, a first floor
gallery incorporating a fitness area, two changing rooms with showers
and toilets each designed for use by thirty people, a good sized PE
department office and a small kitchen area in the entrance hall similar
to the one in the Janet Ward building. Externally a new illuminated
pathway will run down the side of the tennis courts linking the new
building to the Rendall building.
The building has been designed by Mr Mark Webber of Nichols Brown Webber,
an architects practice based in Henley, and the construction will be
carried out by Feltham Construction Ltd of Newbury. This latter firm has
great experience in this field and has recently completed an outstanding
new sports hall at Moulesford School, also designed by Mark Webber.
