Future Developments

We are now entering a very exciting phase of development in the history of the school. New sporting and teaching facilities will be provided for our children who deserve only the best. Our pre prep site at Bevendean has been completely transformed following the completion of the new reception and Year 1 teaching block and surrounding interactive playground; the Bevendean main school building has undergone a complete refurbishment including the provision of a new ICT suite.

On the prep school site we are continuing to improve our sports facilities, following the completion of new netball courts and a fully furnished rowing suite, with the erection of a new cricket pavilion.

The opening in September 2007 of a wonderful new Reception and Year 1 classroom block has transformed the facilities at Bevendean and the original Bevendean building has been redeveloped. "Robins", the new Art and Design building on the Main School site, named after Robin Parfitt, was opened in May 2009. This provides two additional Art rooms, two Design Technology rooms and eight general classrooms. In November 2009, the Stable performing arts block was completed, adding new music practice rooms and a state-of-the-art theatre with dance facilities.

Recently, the footprint of the school was extended to 55 acres, with the purchase of land at the rear, providing some of the best facilities to be found in any preparatory school in the country.

Exciting times lie ahead as we strive to provide our children with only the most excellent of facilities and resources to enable them to get the very best education and life experience from their time at Danes Hill.
