The Humanities project at a glance

The planned development of the first floor of the 1886 Centre provides an integral piece of the Academic Quad and will contribute to an inspiring Centre for the academic life of the school.

We have chosen to work with Roberts Limbrick, a local firm of architects, with over 35 years of experience in designing buildings and with a strong track record of delivering to time and within budget. Roberts Limbrick create spaces at the heart of communities and are committed to an environmentally responsible design process.

Key features of the re-development:

In summary, the elements will comprise:

• 11 lighter, more spacious dual-aspect classrooms, including: four History and Politics, three Geography, two Religious Studies, with two shared Humanities rooms which will be used by Sociology and by other part-time teachers. There will also be two shared Humanities hubs for all departments to collaborate/share resources.

• High-tech facilities including Promethean boards, strong Wi-Fi coverage and multiple charging ports to support 21st Century teaching and learning.

• Connections with the library, enhancing the experience of teaching and learning with greater access to resources.

“The successful completion of the first two Phases of the strategic site plan have demonstrated how state - of- the- art, bespoke premises can facilitate and inspire, and prove the school’s ability to deliver carefully managed, high quality teaching. Great to see the school continuing to build on its strong cultural foundations with the development of the Humanities Centre.”
