Bellman Sixth Form Centre

The major refurbishment of the Bellman Sixth Form Centre is complete, and since the beginning of the Summer Term 2022 students have been making the most of their new home.

The bleacher seating and self-contained work stations have been installed and are in constant use, as are the conference tables and study booths on the mezzanine level. The break-out office rooms have proved extremely popular for group discussions and collaborations. Most notably, there’s been a real buzz at break and lunch times and during study periods, with our brand new coffee shop open for business and doing a very brisk trade. There’s a fabulous range of snacks, treats, hot and cold drinks on offer throughout the day, and Year 12 and 13  have really been enjoying the relaxed, sophisticated ambience.

A party of Sixth Form representatives meets regularly with staff to share their experiences of the new facility, and to discuss ideas for soft furnishing and wall art. Meanwhile, work is progressing on the stylish outdoor seating area, which will add a whole new dimension to the Sixth Form experience.

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the many generous benefactors whose donations have made this project possible.
