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