Feltonfleet School

Facilities

The school enjoys a superb range of facilities on its 25 acre site.

In 2015 a brand new state of the art 400 seat Performing Arts Centre opened to complement the Drama, Music and Dance departments. The new, award nominated space, which includes the Ashbee Theatre and Dance Studio, is linked to the original building via an impressive glass corridor which houses the Main Reception. The theatre has retractable seating for up to 400 and advanced sound and light systems, providing a wonderful performance space and event venue.

Calvi House, for Pre-Prep pupils Nursery to Year 1, was re-developed in 2009 to give our youngest pupils the best learning environment.  They enjoy a suite of spacious classrooms with interactive white boards, landscaped play areas, their own purpose-built hall and a well-stocked library.

In February 2019, in response to overwhelming demand for places at the younger end of the school, we announced exciting development plans, including a phased increase in the number of places available in the Pre-Prep, starting September 2019. There are now two forms in every year group.

An integral part of the development was a newly refurbished building, entirely dedicated to the Year 2 children.  ‘Year 2 House’  gives the pupils increased access to the extensive facilities and further specialist teaching in Science, Music, Art and Sport available on the main campus, enabling an even smoother transition towards Year 3 and the Lower School.

In addition to the growth of the Pre-Prep, ambitious plans were also approved to enhance the facilities for Science, Technology and Music in the Prep School.  In summer 2019, the Science and Digital Learning departments underwent extensive refurbishment.  Two state of the art science laboratories and a classroom provide additional space for practical work, extending the facilities for Science across the age range.  There are also specialist facilities for Music, Drama, Art and Design Technology.

2013 saw the re-development of our Lower School (Years 3 and 4). This self-contained block is now home to eight spacious classrooms whilst continuing to provide pupils with access to their own suite of i-Pads and their own kitchen garden.

A major development of the school’s sporting facilities in 2010 means that, in addition to an extremely well-equipped sports hall, extensive playing fields and hard surface tennis courts, Feltonfleet boasts a 15m indoor swimming pool, floodlit all-weather Astroturf pitch and a 6m high climbing wall. The school has its own rifle ranges for both air-rifle and .22 shooting. Beyond the playing fields a band of woodland is home to the eco-pond and a wilderness area for play and Science study.

The programme of major sports has been reviewed in order to align better with physiological demands and reflect the change in popularity for particular sports. As of September 2017 both girls and boys play hockey, cricket and football. In addition, girls play netball and boys play rugby. In addition all pupils have a weekly swimming lesson and the opportunity to participate in a wide range of extra-curricular activities.

Weekly and Flexi Boarding is available as well as a Breakfast and Afterschool Club for pupils in Year 3 upwards.
