Church Stretton School & Community Sports Facilities
Shropshire
Shropshire Council
The new Church Stretton Leisure Centre provides a wide range of modern, state-of-the-art facilities including a multi-purpose, four-court sports hall, a fitness suite and dance studio and associated dry-side and community changing areas. The outdoor facilities include five school/county grade tennis courts and a new MUGA, 40m x 30m with floodlighting.
The school has a new main entrance with reception and associated staff offices, and a general purpose meeting room that will be available for various courses and also community hire. These new facilities are all linked internally to the existing swimming pool area by an exhibition space where local artists will have the opportunity to display their work.
The scheme combines the needs of the school and the town of Church Stretton with the intention that both the indoor and outdoor sports facilities will primarily be used by the school during school hours but would be available for use by the local community at other times. Additionally the existing caretaker’s bungalow has been converted and refurbished for the Busy Bee‘s Nursery, with re-siting of the existing nursery building to the east of the caretaker’s bungalow for use as a children’s centre.
