Posted on: October 31st 2022

Work begins on the new MUGAThe school may have been closed to pupils for the half-term holidays, but the work continues for our dedicated team of support staff ensuring that we continue to provide the best possible facilities and centres for learning for our pupils.

 

We are delighted to announce that, during the break, groundworks began for a new MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) that will enhance our excellent sporting facilities.

Artist ImpressionThe 40m x 22m area will feature a high performance, ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) approved all weather surface, and is located alongside the Cricket Pavilion on our Prep School site. 

As well as offering cricket lanes for bowling and batting practise, the MUGA will be used for all main sports including hockey, netball, football, tennis, PE activities and other general fitness training. All year groups will have access to the MUGA and it has a design that will offer the school the most flexibility whilst enhancing our all year round sports and after school clubs provision.

The Prep School MUGA is expected to be completed in the spring along with a second MUGA located on the Pre-Prep site.

These sports facility developments come in addition to approved plans for a brand new future technology-focussed STEM Centre to be located adjacent to our modern Science laboratories and classrooms. Work is expected to commence in Spring 2023 and, once complete, will be followed by the creation of a new Literary Centre including a brand new Library, open plan classroom and study breakout areas. 

Commenting on the planned developments, Headmistress Shelley Lance said, "Feltonfleet pupils are shaped in lasting ways by the experiences they have both inside and outside the classroom. We are confident that the development plans and the ambitious steps we are taking to invest in new facilities over the next two years will provide Feltonfleet boys and girls with the highest level of educational provision."

Our talented Year 5 pupils created a stunning poppy display for Remembrance in their DT lessons, using scroll saws and plastics ovens to craft 3D poppies from Foamalux. A big thank you to Mrs. Manley for completing the display with a beautiful dove. #Feltonfleet #FeltonfleetCreativeArts #remembranceday #lestweforget

We will remember them. This year’s remembrance service at Feltonfleet was particularly moving, with a visit from the niece of one of Feltonfleet’s fallen, reminding us of the personal stories and legacies behind each name. Our Heads and Deputy Heads of School led the commemoration, sharing insights from their visit to the Royal Hospital Chelsea, where Veterans shared what remembrance means to them. Today, and always, we remember with gratitude and pride. #remembranceday #lestweforget #Feltonfleet #armisticeday @royalhospitalchelsea

Huge congratulations to our U13 girls for an amazing day at the @iapsuk National Finals at @juniorkingssch this week! From the first whistle, the girls truly embodied our core values of honesty, kindness, respect, and responsibility, both on and off the pitch. Their dedication and sportsmanship earned the admiration of coaches and spectators alike, and we couldn’t be prouder! After some phenomenal hockey, the team secured a spot in the National Finals later this month. We’re all so excited to cheer you on! 🏑🏆 #FeltonfleetSport #FeltonfleetRespect #FeltonfleetKindness #FeltonfleetHonesty #FeltonfleetResponsibility #FeltonfleetDestination13 @iapsuksport
