New Learning Resource Centre

A New Learning Resource Centre for Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School

Brand new learning spaces are planned for Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School as we address critical challenges to our estate in the run-up our 500th anniversary in 2027.  These spaces will enable us to bring our school environment up to the same level of excellence as the education we have been delivering for centuries.

Central to our plans is a new Learning Resource Centre, set over three floors at the front of the School. It will provide flexible dedicated Sixth Form study space enriched with IT facilities; a new whole-school dining room and library plus new classrooms and space adaptable to study, social activities and out of hours community use.

This new facility will free up other areas of the school for refurbishment, the first of which will deliver a state-of-the-art Computer Suite in the main School, consisting of two classrooms equipped to the highest specification.

Flexible social space will be available to our community our of school hours which as well as generating income for the school, will improve well-being, foster talent and support businesses.

We aim to have these new facilities open in September 2025.

Investing in Excellence

The new Centre, Computer Suite and refurbishment of tired spaces across the school is expected to cost over £6 million.  These costs will be met by:

Department for Education grant – £2 million
Foundation Charity of Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School grant – £2.7 million
Investing in Excellence Fundraising Campaign – £1.5 million
