The historic priory walls which surround the campus might be ancient but, within them, our facilities are thoroughly modern.  They include:

  • Purpose-built music school and auditorium
  • Indoor swimming pool
  • Science, digital language and ICT laboratories
  • Award-winning school dining hall - Restaurant 1877
  • Dedicated art and drama studios
  • Squash courts
  • Astroturf playing pitches 
  • Expansive grass playing fields
  • Three recently refurbished boarding houses

The School Council is committed to a continuing programme of improvement and development of the school facilities. Recent projects have included the refurbishment of the award-winning school dining hall, known as Restaurant 1877,  and upgrading of ICT facilities. Bishopshall was our first boarding house to undergo a full renovation and refurbishment, and work to redevelop Ollerenshaw and St Rule boarding houses commenced in 2018 and 2019 respectively, focusing on the creation of stylish open-plan social areas, state-of-the-art kitchens and study bedrooms equipped for 21st century living and learning. Over £5 million has been invested in our boarding house refurbishment project to date.
