The remainder of the project is also on schedule which will be ready to open on August 24, 2015.
The increase in space will now allow the school to offer more subjects and options for the students. Next year’s curriculum has been expanded to include Design and Technology, IGCSE Art and Music as well as 8 Cambridge A-Level courses.

This increase in facilities and subjects will enable them to give more options and choices to their students in order to allow them to focus and develop their individual strengths and preferences. To further support the students learning and achievements, the school will have three state of the art science laboratories, three dedicated and expansive ICT suites and two purpose built art and music rooms.

The school’s new sporting facilities will be just one of the major significant upgrades at the new school and will include an athletics track, 25 meter swimming pool with separate children’s pool, and outdoor basketball court, a multipurpose sports hall will offer 3 badminton courts, a volleyball court and an indoor basketball court.

Externally, two football pitches, two playgrounds, a volleyball court and running track will enhance their sporting offering. Inside the main building, they will also have a dance room and within the new sport centre a large fitness suite. These outstanding facilities will not only become a daily part of all the student’s physical education and development but this will also enable them to launch new academy style programmes for football and swimming.
