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, reopening in September 2016. Work to redevelop Ollerenshaw and St Rule boarding houses commenced in 2018 and 2019 respectively, with the first phases 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 £4 million has been invested in our boarding house refurbishment project to date.
