Onslow St Audrey's School opens new sports hall

Onslow St Audrey's School in Hatfield has opened a brand new sports hall. The new hall will be the base of all PE and dance lessons, as well as extra-curricular activities.  We are thrilled to open the doors to the new state-of-the-art sports facility for learners and the local community. The facility includes a first-class sports hall made up of various sports markings for national and community competition use as well as a spacious dance studio. This facility takes the provision at the school to a new level and ensures they are well on their way to becoming the school of choice for physical education within the area. The opening of the sports hall is a continuation of Danes Educational Trust's wider investment into improving the school for the Hatfield community which has already provided a new science block, classrooms and external spaces. Future investment includes an All Weather Pitch, which is currently under construction, and refurbishments to the main school buildings. See coverage in the WH Times
