Senior school building development
Demolition work on the old buildings started in July 2007, and the new building is on course for completion at the end of August 2008.
The new building will maintain the character of the old building and consist of three self-contained floors of four classrooms each, enabling 300 girls and staff to work in state-of-the-art facilities. The Art department, already renowned for its excellent results, will be a major beneficiary and the Art Suite will include a dedicated Sixth Form studio.
In keeping with the new 2007 regulations, the new building will be eco-friendly with restricted carbon emissions from the cooling and heating system, natural ventilation through the classrooms, modern low emission lighting, natural materials wherever possible and solar shading on lighting on the southern and western aspects.
The Hardcastle Hall and the classrooms adjoining the hall are in the process of being renovated and will be ready for occupation at the start of next term.
