For many years the school has been planning for this project, knowing that it was essential to provide the best possible facilities for our community. Our project includes several significant developments that will enhance the Gayhurst Experience.

Sports Hall

Replacing our outdated Gibbs Hall, our new sports hall will cater for our growing student body of 350 pupils. Offering significantly more space including 3 courts, it will enable us to provide a multitude of sports and physical education activities.

This modern facility providing updated changing facilities for all pupils will support our commitment to excellence in physical education and sports.

Auditorium

We have invested heavily in our site, acquiring an adjacent plot that enables us to create a 180 seat auditorium with tiered seating for an improved audience experience. This performance space is a first for our school, providing our pupils with a dedicated venue to showcase their musical and dramatic talents. This project will also provide pupils with the opportunity to learn about sound, lighting and theatre tech, meaning it is a resource for every pupil in our school.

Dance and Drama Studio

Our new dance and drama studio will provide the ideal space and equipment for our pupils to express themselves creatively and develop their skills in performing arts. We will also be installing a green screen, meaning that children will enhance their digital skills alongside the traditional dance and drama skills.

Staff Room and Foyer

In addition to these student focused facilities, the project includes a new staff room and foyer. The staff room will offer a suitable space for our dedicated staff to meet and take a well-earned break, while the foyer will create a stunning entrance to welcome guests to Gayhurst.
