Case Study Get sporty! Witham Hall is a 250 pupil strong boarding and day Prep School for children 4-13 years old in Witham-on-the-Hill, near Stamford, Lincolnshire, that has recently added to its attractions by the regeneration of its sports hall into an impressive new Sports Centre. The new Sports Centre at Witham Hall (www.withamhall.com) was formally opened by Great Britain Olympian Crista Cullen MBE. Ahead of cutting the ribbon, the gold medal winning hockey player paid tribute to all concerned with the new facilities, which she said “would undoubtedly serve to inspire and encourage generations of young athletes, whatever their sporting interest and ability.” She encouraged all users to “fully embrace and enjoy everything that such an outstanding development can provide” suggesting that “few stand-alone Prep Schools across the country could have access to such facilities.” The original Sports Hall building was decommissioned last summer, when construction of the new Sports Centre began. At 20,000 square feet, the new main hall offers pupils a host of indoor sporting opportunities for both curriculum PE and Games, while separately providing a sprung floor Dance and Gymnastics Studio, an AV Room for guest lectures, a full cardio and resistance Fitness Centre, as well a suite of new changing, showering, catering and staff facilities. A roof-top viewing terrace overlooks the outdoor tennis and netball courts allowing spectators to enjoy watching sports as well as taking in the school’s fine parkland setting at the same time. In highlighting the outstanding support and ambition of the Governing Body in making the project possible, Headmaster Mr Charles Welch said “Alongside an increasingly outstanding reputation locally and regionally, we have the ambition to make Witham Hall one of the leading Prep Schools in the country. “The work undertaken in recent years to extend academic facilities in the Prep Building and the Pre-Prep Building, to provide state-ofthe-art new Science labs, to redevelop Art, Drama and Music, and to provide a Forest School, all now receive a further boost with this magnificent new facility.” The Headmaster also indicated that space liberated elsewhere on the campus will allow for the installing of two new IT Suites with added Design & Technology provision, alongside the extension of pupil dining and common room provision. Mr Welch also highlighted how the school “has always been pleased in how other local schools (including various local primary schools, as well as special needs institutions), local clubs and charitable community groups had been able to use the old facility, and is now really looking forwards to being able to welcome these groups back to a modern and superbly equipped centre.” The Chair of Governors, Jeremy Sharman, congratulated the School Bursar, Luke Graham, who had acted as project manager for the multi-million pound build. “Together with Thomas Wilson Architects (www.thomaswilsonarchitects.co.uk), Mr Graham had brought to fruition the school’s original vision to achieve a large facility that did not lour over its surrounding, nor fight against the aesthetic of the wider estate or the main Queen Anne revival main hall,” he said.
