"A multi-use games area has been built on the school field to enhance the exciting sports and PE curriculum and extra-curricular offering at the school for an all-year round area to be used whatever the weather," explained a spokesperson for the school.

"The new learning lodge is a purpose-built extra teaching space for the school and will house children to receive their learning in a smaller group environment, enabling smaller class size throughout the school in all year groups."
