Our Site & Facilities

 

 

We enjoy attractive and well-maintained buildings, many of which have been built or modernised in the last decade.
As well as dedicated ICT suites, all our classrooms are equipped with Internet connected computers and most have interactive whiteboards and data projectors. 

 

 

 

We have a superb, fully equipped sports hall and separate gymnasium. The playing fields are extensive and include several football and rugby pitches as well as hard courts for tennis and basketball.

 

 

 

 

Recently some of our Design Technology teaching areas and facilities have been refurbished and upgraded.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The latest building project has also provided a lift to enable any disabled persons to access the first floor rooms.

 

St Dunstan’s offers a newly refurbished modern Learning Resource Centre to support student’s learning. Equipped with new furniture, fittings and an up-to-date book stock of 8,500, the Library is a calm, inviting and comfortable environment. It is staffed throughout the school day. After school, Homework Club is held here until 4.15.

 

The Learning Resource Centre has been designed for ease of access to the information students need during the school day. The aim of the Library staff is to encourage students to become independent researchers, with plenty of support and the resources they need to hand.

 

 

The Learning Resource Centre also places great emphasis on encouraging reading for pleasure and relaxation.
The teenage fiction stock is constantly being renewed and updated. Reading is also promoted through various activities, offered on a regular basis: A Book at Breaktime – a novel read aloud during morning break and a thriving book club (Bookbins) held weekly at lunch-time. Also book award shadowing and in Reading Week: visiting authors and illustrators.

 

 

A wide selection of meals and healthy snacks are available in the Dining Room at break and lunch times. 

 

 

 

When the weather permits there is an outdoor picnic area and also a covered area for students who bring packed lunches

 

 

 

 

 

The Labyrinth Garden provides an useful outdoor teaching and learning space. As well as the growing of fruits, vegetables and flowers the area also has a pond and is a haven for wildlife.
