Facilities

The dedicated ICT suite has 30 computers, so each pupil and the teacher has their own machine. The computers are networked, enabling data files to be accessed from anywhere in the school and learning programs to be hosted centrally from the curriculum server. For pupils’s protection, access to the Internet is monitored closely by teaching staff and children are taught how to use the Internet responsibly and safely.

The library is well-stocked with a comfortable and inclusive environment where each child is encouraged to develop a love of reading. We have our own librarian who ensures our books are kept up-to-date, reads stories to the pupils, and teaches them how to use the library effectively.

The art room is fully equipped, enabling pupils to express their creativity and imagination using a wide range of materials and resources. Pupils learn various techniques of drawing, painting, sculpture, and other mediums necessary for their creative development.

We believe that it is important for all pupils to have positive play experiences each day. So at break times they have access to a wide range of activities such as hopscotch, hula hoops, bat and ball, target practice and more. For pupils who like to relax, they can choose to visit the Reading Zone or see what’s showing at the cinema.

Our multi-purpose rooftop football ground is perfect for in-school and after-school activities. It features a canvas shelter and is equipped with water fans for hot summer days. It is the perfect space for outdoor learning and is regularly used for lessons across our year groups.

The courtyard cinema has been installed to provide pupils with the space and atmosphere to relax between study periods if they wish to. With a 5.1-surround sound system, it is perfect for screening programmes ranging from educational documentaries to the latest blockbuster Disney movies.

At GBA we care about our pupils leading healthy lifestyles. This starts with a healthy and balanced diet. Our canteen provides healthy snacks and drinks for children to enjoy during their break times and promotes eating a well-balanced diet.

The school clinic is equipped to deal with all minor and initial emergency concerns that arise at school. A pupil who becomes ill during the school day will report to the clinic where the severity of the injury or illness will be assessed and, if necessary, a parent will be contacted.

Our large hall and stage area can seat up to 200 attendees and is host to our annual theatre productions. It’s also used for conferences, displays, theme-week presentations and our workshops, which are frequently held for staff, pupils and parents. It’s furnished with a high-quality projector and lighting/sound system and is also home to our professional photo studio.
