New Classroom Building

Started February 2009

Work has started on the new classroom building situated next to the current classroom facilities and behind the Chapel. The new development will provide purpose built workshops for Design & Technology, Art Studios and general teaching rooms. A new Library will also be included as part of the complex, which will comprise two buildings, joined by an atrium.

Sixth Form Girls' House

More Sixth Form girls are applying to St John's than ever before thanks to the opening of another Sixth Form Girls' House. Fairfield comprises en suite accommodation for 20 boarding girls, facilities for approximately 15 day girls, a housemistress's house and assistant's flat. The combination of the Fairfield and Hallaton buildings is now known as South House.

This impressive building houses the St John's Music School, an auditorium and the Sixth Form Social Centre. The School's patron, HRH The Duchess of Gloucester, officially declared the Performing Arts Centre open in May 2003. Work began on the three million pound building in January 2002.
