Built for the Future
Ken Stimpson Community School is a single site school with superb facilities,
some of which are shared with Werrington District Library and Werrington
Sports & Recreation Centre. The school has access to sports facilities, drama
studios, music classrooms and practice spaces, dance theatres and performance
areas - all of which would be less likely to be found in a more traditional school. In
addition to our well equipped and resourced teaching blocks we also have a twocourt,
floodlit astroturf area and extensive playing fields. Ken Stimpson Community
School is a specialist International Business and Enterprise School.
The School and the Community
Linking with the community is not just about the shared use of some buildings. We
believe that education is a continuing process and that all ages and abilities should
have access to appropriate learning opportunities. Ken Stimpson is a place not
just for those involved in the compulsory element of education, but a place where
everyone is welcome. Opportunities exist for adults to use computers and other
facilities at the Library and to access specialist provision in the Sports Centre both
during and outside the school day. The school is also adept at utilising the skills
and knowledge in the local community to contribute to classroom presentations
and discussions.
If you believe that you could benefit from links of this nature or you are able
to contribute then please contact Andrea Ayre, our Business, Enterprise and
Community Co-ordinator, for further details.
