Work has begun on the The Leys' biggest building project in the school's 137-year history, Great Hall.  The old theatre has now been demolished and the foundations are in place for the new building complex. A short time lapse video of the first few weeks of work on the old theatre demolition can be viewed here.

Great Hall presents an opportunity to address the needs of Leysian pupils over the next century, providing a magnificent science and performing arts centre with a range of superb facilities to match our ambitious academic, extra-curricular and pastoral work. Great Hall, like the Chapel, will be at the heart of life at The Leys into the 22nd Century.

 

Work in progress - the Great Hall foundations take shape (10th April 2012).  You can see the outline of the main entrance in the foreground.

The concrete slab visible in the centre of the photograph will form the base for the Foyer and Cafe (ground floor) and Drama Studio (first floor). This special foundation "floats" above the root system of the sequoia tree in Dale Court (17th April 2012).

Grateful thanks to Paul Durose (Leys Theatre Technician) for the photographs!
