Recent
Our largest and latest capital campaign was to redevelop the Fleischner Theatre, which included a new Music School and created a fantastic new Performing Arts Centre, all funded by donations from parents and alumni. A magnificent £1,428,324 was raised to realise this project.
In previous years, Capital Projects have also included the restoration of the Allan Bath, the Sports Hall refurbishment, and a new faculty created for Art and Design, alongside many others.
Each year, additional funds are raised for smaller projects within the School, such as the renewed piano fleet, an interactive periodic table, new sailing boats for the CCF, new deckchairs for spectators and a giant outdoor chess set.
