Kingsgate Park: SHAPING THE FUTURE OF SPORT

Winchester is embarking upon probably the most comprehensive development plan since its foundation. As part of the Southern Campus Development, the school's sporting facilities, based at Kingsgate Park, will undergo a significant transformation and improvement over the next couple of years.

SPORTS CENTRE FLYTHROUGH

CHANGED DAYS
Back in the 1960s when the old PE Centre was built, the school was home to 550 boys, with a small selection of football and cricket teams and a handful of additional sports on offer. Today we have 700 boys and a diverse range of more than 30 sports to choose from.

STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITIES
The new sporting facilities will deliver a centre of sporting excellence that:

will enable the most talented and driven pupils to reach their full potential within the sporting arena, just as they do in the academic field
will ensure there are facilities suitable for a co-educational school
will ensure that everybody can find a sport they enjoy and take it forward to the level that suits them
benefits a school of Winchester's standing.

THE COST AND FUNDRAISING
The fundraising target is £15 million and thanks to the generosity of parents and Old Wykehamists we have raised £13.6 million in cash and pledges. The more we can raise in support of this project, the more we can protect both the existing endowment, which pays for the current bursary programme, and the proceeds of Barton Farm development, which is ring-fenced for the expansion of the bursary provision. Bursary provision remains a top priority for Winchester.

The development of the new Sports Centre has not been immune from the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of this and other operational challenges Kier has revised its anticipated completion date to early 2023. We are working with them to do all we can to improve on this date and we will keep you informed of any changes. Below is the latest project update from the Development Office.
