A new Sports Centre
Built in the 1960s during Sir Desmond Lee’s term as Headmaster,
the current PEC, though dated now, represented a huge advance
at the time. Boys were treated to a heated swimming pool, as well
as a sports hall, dojo, fitness room and changing facilities. An adjacent
building meanwhile housed the squash courts and a rifle range.
Now bursting at the seams, quite literally in
the case of the padding on the dojo walls, the
existing PEC is to be replaced by a modern,
purpose-built Sports Centre. More than twice
the size of the original, this will meet the needs
of the School’s diverse sporting programme
for generations to come.
The top floor houses the fives courts, dojo
,
and studios, in addition to the sports classroom
staff room and an external terrace.
