section of the culvert had concrete pumped in to effectively fill the entire void. This would ensure that the culvert would not collapse in the future, undermining the new artificial pitch. The existing shale material and sub base was used as part of the drainage layer for the new pitch. Drainage pipework was installed before more drainage stone was added, graded and consolidated to the right levels. A base layer of tarmac followed, then a top layer of tarmac. A wet pour rubberised shock pad was laid before, finally, the new carpet was laid and dressed with sand. A new fence was built and a spectator viewing area incorporated in to the design, along with a new eight tower flood lighting system. The pitch accommodates a full length hockey pitch with two pitches cross ways. Nine tennis courts are set up for the summer term.

This was left to the team to design and construct in house, and was led by Liam Screech, Deputy Head Groundsman, as part of his foundation degree course. The pupils play golf at Taunton Vale Golf Course, about five miles away, but this facility means that they can practise on site. It consists of a putting green, chipping
