We at Schools Plus are delighted to share the news that we have taken on a new and very impressive partner School in Clapton Girls’ Academy. Located in the busy inner-London borough of Hackney, we’re very excited to start sharing the Academy’s fantastic facilities with the local community.
We’d like to offer you a first look into the Academy’s best features. Hopefully by the end of our virtual tour, it will become clear just why we’re so excited to start working alongside them.
Lisa Berryman, our experienced Venue Manager who has been instrumental in striking up an immediate relationship with the Academy, wanted to share her initial thoughts on the new partnership…
I am looking forward to building another fantastic community venue with our new partnership with Clapton girls academy. With fantastic event, sports and education facilities to hire we are really excited about this new venue.
At most of our Schools one of the first locations we like to look at is the Sports Hall. Having access to a high-quality Sports Hall allows new Schools to immediately take on a lot of exciting new bookings. These often include local sports clubs and teams running all sorts of game nights.
After our first visit we left safe in the knowledge that Clapton Girls’ Academy had a great Sports Hall on their hands. The Hall has equipment and dedicated floor markings for a multitude of activities including Basketball, Badminton, Indoor Football and Netball to name a few. The Sports Hall is 3 Badminton courts long and has optional access to nearby changing rooms.
The next facility we were interested in viewing was the Main Hall. Often the hub of most Schools, we have hosted a wide range events in these venues including Weddings, Worship Group Gatherings, Performances and Business Conferences.
We were immediately impressed by the size and scale of the Main Hall at the Academy. Capable of hosting up to 400 people there is a lot of potential to host all sorts of events here, large or small. The Hall has seating available for use, a raised stage area with a speaking platform and stage lighting set up.
The next eye catching facility at the Academy is the Dance Studio. We think this bright, modern and open space will be perfect for local community dance groups and fitness classes. The mirrored wall, ballet barre and wooden flooring all come together to create a very authentic look. We have high hopes that this Studio will become the go-to place for local performing arts groups.
There are several other facilities available that we think the community will enjoy here. These include a purpose-built Drama Studio complete with black out curtains, interactive whiteboard and fixed lightning.
If you wanted to take your booking outside, then there are a few MUGAs (Multi Use Games Areas) to choose from. You can play a variety of sports here or just use them as general mixing areas for events.
As with most of our Schools, Clapton Girls’ Academy are happy to allow the use of their classrooms for bookings. A huge variety of events can be run from these rooms. There are even specialist classrooms available for booking including a Music Room.
We hope you enjoyed this preview of what is available for hire at the Academy and we hope it has now become crystal clear just why we are so excited to start working alongside them. If you wanted to find out more then please visit their dedicated page on our website here
