Swimming pool update

We're pleased to share that good progress is being made on the swimming pool plant refurbishment.

The original filter tank is currently being removed and, once this stage is complete, work will begin to prepare and level the surface ready for the installation of the new filter tanks.

To help keep the project moving forward, the school is accommodating all works alongside the normal operation of the school week, allowing welding contractors to continue making progress.

As both a school facility and a valued community resource, we would like to thank all our users for their continued patience and support while these essential improvements are carried out.

We are also continuing to maintain the pool's water quality throughout the closure, ensuring we are in the best possible position to reopen as quickly as possible once the refurbishment is complete.

We would also like to reassure all users that the school has not invoiced any clubs or groups for swimming pool sessions during the pool closure. If you are awaiting a refund for cancelled sessions, we kindly ask that you contact your club directly, as they are responsible for managing any refunds owed to their members.

Thank you again for your continued understanding and support. We look forward to welcoming everyone back to the pool once these important improvements have been completed.
