Chichester Free School was built at the old disused Carmelite Convent in Hunston. This building was part demolished and part refurb to create a new school big enough for 1,280 students from Reception age right through to Sixth Form. The former building was vacated by Nuns in 1995 and it was then used to house agricultural workers. A suspected arson destroyed what was the chapel in 2009. The new buildings will house a 600m2 Sports Hall, 250m2 Hall and dedicated Music and Performance spaces.
The project consisted of an extension to the school playground and pitches, our brief involved all groundworks, all foundations including pile caps & groundbeams, internal/external drainage with pump station & foul treatment tanks, services infrastructure and all external finishing works.
