FACILITIES
The school has
benefited from an extensive construction programme that has been in seven
phases. This has resulted in new
facilities for Modern Languages, P.E., Maths, ICT, Design and Technology,
Expressive Arts suite, brand new SEN suite, completely refurbished Science labs
and the construction of 2 new canopies for recreational use at the back of the
school.
Since 1993 well over £3 million have been spent on new or improved
accommodation.
These
developments have not only improved the school environment but have more than
kept pace with the growing popularity of the school.
Kingshill has an
extensive open plan Library. It has a
Sound Studio and Drama Theatre; two Music rooms and practice areas; a large
gymnasium, sports hall and new changing rooms.
As well as specialist accommodation, the building has many carpeted and
well maintained classrooms for such subjects as Maths, English, and
Humanities. In addition, there are two
specialist rooms for learning support.
There are many “social” areas
for pupils including a large indoor concourse.
Outside, the
grounds are well maintained and have been landscaped, mainly by pupil ventures
including several tree planting projects.
Pupils have
access to the extensive field area (subject
to the weather!) and the school has an artificial cricket square, cricket
practice nets, five excellent tennis courts and a hard play area with outdoor
basketball stands.
Kingshill has
facilities for disabled pupils, including a wheelchair lift, disabled toilet,
ramped access to the building and several automatic doors.
Kingshill has a
policy of encouraging community use of its buildings and facilities and is well
placed for future recreational developments.
A 35 acre site adjacent to the school opened in 2002 by the Town Council
and will eventually provide 5 soccer pitches, and other playing areas for
community use.
The school plays
host to a variety of local clubs including Cirencester Gym Club, Cirencester
Netball Club, Cirencester Athletics Club, Lions Club Sports' Coaching Weekends
and Cirencester Badminton Club.
