The
school was redesigned and refurbished when opened in 1999.
It caters exclusively for secondary age students.
The building is designed on two floors and is constructed in modern
materials. It is well-sited at
the edge of the village of Gawthorpe overlooking open countryside.
There are
eighteen classrooms, each with networked computer facilities and all rooms
are well equipped for a variety of teaching purposes.
The school is built around two paved courtyards.
In addition to the general classrooms there are specialist rooms for
Art/Pottery/Design, Science,
Life
Skills and Information & Communication Technology.
Other facilities include a Library/ Resource Area, a Hall (used for
assemblies, dining and drama) a Gymnasium, a Medical Room and a
Multi-sensory room and several Low-stimulus rooms.
The school is fully accessible for children with physical
difficulties and has a lift to the 1st Floor.
The school has recently benefited from the addition of a purpose
built inclusive playground. In 2008 we have also had a new Learning Support
Base developed. We also have very extensive, secure school grounds with high
quality all weather areas and playing fields.
