New Build – Completion Easter 2026

Watch this fly through video of our new school building!

These design images give an impression of how the new building will look. In particular the combination of the historic Victorian house with modern state of the art buildings is more than impressive. Equally, the connection between inside spaces and outside spaces really draws out the historic nature of the site and the beauty of the views to the south of the school site.

View of Planned New Site

The view from North Road will show the historic Springwell Hall as it was originally designed to be seen.

View from North Road: The images above start to visualise the look of the new site. The first image is looking into the site by the gatehouse on North Road. The design opens up a clear view of Springwell Hall from North Road, with no buildings in front of the historic house. You can also see the current Martyrs’ Building that Sixth Formers currently use. The gap between the two buildings would then become the walkway to the new school building and as you walk down this path a view of new building opens ahead of you. You can see from the first image how the historic nature of the site is restored from the gatehouse entrance, which is in keeping with the other heritage aspects of North Road.  

View from the south end of the school site: The second image is looking back into the school from the edge of the yard just where the grass starts to rise. You can see the current Sixth Form Block on the right and the new three-storied building on the left. As you can see the school yard remains in the same space, and this will become dedicated sports areas for PE lessons as well as lunchtime and after school sport. Again, you can see that this design leaves the beautiful tress that edge our site in position, and the view looking out of the school to the south, with the obelisk framed by the trees remains.
