In the Marketing Department we love talking about, writing about and sometimes even shouting about how wonderful our Schools are. However, when it comes to describing the day to day working environment at the Schools and the close working relationships with them there is no better member of Staff to turn to then our trusted Venue Managers.
Venue Managers are responsible for overseeing all operational tasks at our Schools. They also are in place to ensure that a positive working relationship exists between both Schools Plus and the School we work in. Needless to say, they know everything there is to know about each School they work at.
Today we have Venue Manager Michelle Lucas who works in all of our Schools in the East Anglia Area; The Hewett Academy, Sir Isaac Newton Sixth Form, Jane Austen College, and The Thetford Academy.
We asked Michelle to tell us all the best facilities and features at Thetford Academy…
Here at Thetford Academy we have amazing facilities that are available for hire. The School is set nearby beautiful forestry with some spectacular views. The School is just off the A11 making it an extremely accessible location for people from Thetford but also many surrounding towns. The School caters for secondary and sixth form pupils with a newly refurbished sixth form hub.
There are many facilities to shout about in Thetford Academy but my top 3 would have to be the fully equipped Sports Hall, the beautiful Dance Studio and the superb Auditorium.
The Sports Hall is perfect for all sporting needs. The Hall has floor markings for Netball, Basketball, Badminton, Hockey, volleyball and 5 a side football. We also have equipment such as table tennis tables, sporting posts and goals available for use. There are also male and female changing rooms next to the sports hall.
The Dance Studio is a beautiful venue. It has a fully mirrored wall and fixed ballet barres. There are curtains around the rest of the room to create a blank canvas. There is also an adjoining drama studio which is accessed by retracting the dividing wall if you wish. This is perfect for your dance group to train on a regular basis. It is also suitable for fitness classes such as Yoga and Zumba but also much more!
The Auditorium is a fantastic facility for performances, conferences, worship groups and much more. The seating can be retracted to give an empty hall instead. There is a projector and lighting and seating for 200 people with more chairs available to add if necessary.
Myself and my team would love to welcome you to Thetford Academy for whatever your venue hire needs may be. We can accommodate you Evenings from 5pm, All day at weekends and school holidays.
