Conference facilities

Within the academy and also at The Hive, we can offer very flexible facilities from fewer than ten people up to 200. As well as conference rooms and breakout areas, our studio theatre offers an imposing lecture facility.


Dance studio

With industry standard sprung flooring, this 12.9m x 10.7m area also features full length wall mirrors.


Sports hall

Full size sports hall, 33m x 18m  with floor markings for netball, basketball, badminton (four courts) and five-a-side football. Includes cricket nets.


The Hive

The Hive is a unique and breath-taking facility built and developed in 2011 to support the teaching of vocational courses in Media and Performing Arts.

Most people will recognise it as the harlequin-clad building seen from the ring road; inside is the real surprise.

Built around an amazing theatre space, The Hive contains spaces for rehearsal and the development of media courses. The space also contains a fully operational café, operated by students studying Catering & Hospitality and a gallery area for refreshments and socialising when school productions are on.

The theatre space has seating for 210 and is fully DDA compliant. It is the venue for travelling theatre groups as well as the annual school musical.
