We are currently underway with a significant refurbishment project to 21 of our Christie classrooms. The rooms, used to teach students from Y7 to Y13 across seven different subject disciplines, will provide our students with a transformative learning experience.
The floor to ceiling refurbishment includes new flooring, tables, chairs, blinds, redecoration, and the installation of new touch screen technology. The project is on track to be completed in August 2025.
We were delighted that in Autumn 2024 we completed a large-scale project to extend and resurface our netball and tennis courts giving our students access to a fantastic new sports resource. It has been great to watch the WHS girls in action against our local and national rivals in the various District and National Netball competitions and to see the fantastic success of our U14 netball team who made it to the national finals! We’re looking forward to the tennis season throughout the summer term!
The netball and tennis courts were officially opened in July 2025 by NSL and England netballer Frankie Wells.
We are also delighted that the local community are benefitting from this first-rate resource with England Netball Super League team London Mavericks hosting their summer training camp at WHS.
Generous support from PAFA, our Parent and Friend Association, enabled the refurbishment of 3 student toilet facilities in the Downs and Christie buildings.
In August 2022, we completed a major project to install new fire doors to the Downs, Christie, Miller and Verney Buildings. An extension of the fire alarm system to cover all high-risk rooms was also completed. These important works also incorporated the LED installation of emergency lighting provisions and emergency escape signage within the Miller Building.
The ‘Play Your Part’ for Sport campaign was Launched in September 2015. The cost for the pitch was raised by September 2017 through various events and funding sources. The pitch was completed in January 2018 and opened by Helen Richardson-Walsh OLY MBE.
Our all-weather pitch extends the sporting Participation and success of our students
throughout the year. It also supports the local community, sports clubs and organisations.
Launched in 2011, the ‘Play Your Part’ for Music campaign raised a phenomenal £1.6 million for the Music Centre which was opened in 2016 by HRH The Duke of Kent.
The centrepiece of the new building is a flexible area that can be transformed from two acoustically separate classrooms into a 150-seat performance space for our many choirs, bands and ensembles.
There is also a music technology suite which houses sixteen computers and keyboards, all with headphones, which gives the students the opportunity to compose their own songs and music. There are nine practice rooms, including a Drum Room, support the 250+ students who take lessons with specialist peripatetic teachers. All are connected to the recording studio.
