A new water-filled hockey pitch has been a real success, and needs minimal routine maintenance
quarterly to do a deep clean
in the spring.
Former headmaster’s accommodation Dean Close House is now used for admin, welcoming parents and outside events such as weddings and has a charming secluded garden. “We plant it up with annuals and hang
baskets for the summer, but the lawn is on my list for renovation and would be perfect for croquet,” says James.
Even passers-by could benefit - plans for the front gardens of the pre-prep school
along the A40 include a line of flowering cherry trees to unify a building frontage which ranges from the historic to the modern.
James is currently pricing up repairs to the prep school cricket pitch, beautifully situated next to the atmospheric chapel and with its own pavilion, but suffering from doing double duty for rugby training.
A striking addition on the prep school side of the road is a new water-based hockey pitch, built by Slatters.
“It’s a very good pitch and has made the coach very happy,” says James. “We maintain it weekly with a pedestrian power brush, and spray for weeds as needed, whilst Slatters come in quarterly to do a deep clean. Debris has to be kept down, especially on the far side where leaves blow, so we’ll regularly go in with a Billy Goat and clear up.”
By its side is an older sand-filled pitch also due for replacement, at an expected cost of £750,000.
