Hampshire School Gets £696,000 Boost

Thorndean school in Chandler’s Ford Hampshire is pumping £696,000 into sports facilities which will benefit both the students and indeed the local community. It has be outlined that the money will be used to put in a new floor, redecorate and extend the existing sports hall and to also include a conference room at the school. Head teacher Robert Sykes was quoted as saying: “This is excellent news for both pupils and community groups. This is something we have wanted to do for a long time."

“Sport benefits pupils because of the skills involved in learning an activity and the positive health effects. With better floors and facilities it will help our sports teams take things to the next level.”

He went on to say the school had demonstrated real sporting talent, with a badminton team that won the national finals and came seventh in an international competition. He said better facilities would help emerging sportsmen fine-tune their skills.

Funding for this very ambitious project has come from the school’s own funding, with a contribution from Hampshire County Council.
