SCHOOL BUILDINGS &<br />

FACILITIES IMPROVEMENTS<br />

SPORTS FACILITIES<br />

We are very pleased to report that our new changing<br />

facility and classroom on the Highbury site behind the<br />

Music <strong>School</strong> has been completed on time and budget and<br />

will be in full use from September. Known as the Pavilion, it<br />

comprises a large classroom, changing facilities with<br />

showers, and a staff office. Refurbishment of the netball<br />

and tennis courts will now start with the aim of having these<br />

ready for September as well. When complete, we will have<br />

courts which meet the standard for school, local league and<br />

club netball and tennis.<br />

HIGHBURY HOUSE<br />

When the school transferred to Academy status last August,<br />

the Local Authority transferred responsibility for Highbury<br />

House, the base for the North Hertfordshire Music <strong>School</strong>,<br />

to <strong>Hitchin</strong> <strong>Girls</strong>’ <strong>School</strong> to allow the school to have greater<br />

use of the building during the school day. Since then, major<br />

refurbishment has been underway including repairs to<br />

plaster, new heating, improvements to lighting, redecoration<br />

and new flooring. All this has taken place whilst<br />

still allowing the rooms to be used for Music during the day<br />

and for Music <strong>School</strong> classes in the evening. This work will<br />

be completed for September when the school will use three<br />

of the larger rooms in the building as classrooms. Individual<br />

Music lessons will still take place in the remaining rooms<br />

and the Music <strong>School</strong> will continue to operate in the<br />

evening and at weekends.<br />

SCIENCE LABORATORIES<br />

Over the past few years we have been refurbishing and<br />

upgrading our Science laboratories. Eight have been<br />

completed so far with one remaining. We are very pleased<br />
