The new Learning Development Centre is now housed in the welcoming home of the Old Rectory, (once house parents accommodation). There are three classrooms, an office, a large kitchen, creative arts area and self-contained garden. The grandeur of the Old Rectory, has been combined with modern, muted colour schemes, soft lighting and a comfortable study area, ideally situated, within the centre of the 230 acre campus.
A team of experienced, specialist teachers and assessors will be accommodated within the Old Rectory Learning Development Centre, providing support for pupils who need to approach learning in a variety of imaginative ways.
2019-2020
New Sixth Form Centre - OPENED January 2020
The new Sixth Form Centre lies within a Grade II listed building named the Old Rectory where original features such as fireplaces and cornices have been restored. Despite its listed status, the Old Rectory features plenty of mod-cons and is positioned within the heart of the campus providing a dedicated space for Rendcomb’s oldest students. The development of the Sixth Form Centre helps prepare pupils for the changing needs of university and future employment by providing a unique mix of environments. There are modern study spaces that encourage individual and collaborative working and there are sitting rooms, a kitchen and a games room providing students with the opportunity to relax during the working day. There’s also a boardroom which provides a space for meetings and is a base for the growing Enterprise and Careers programme.
