 Constructed in a steel frame and finished in glass, red brick, micro fibbed aluminium panelling and a beech coloured wood, the new centre boasts a 5 badminton court size sports hall, the largest school sports hall in Southend Borough (the only larger indoor hall is that at Southend Leisure & Tennis Centre).This building was completed in September 2005 and is now well used; not only by members of the school community but also the wider community in the evenings and at weekends.In November 2008 two temporary classrooms were installed to the east of the main buildings between the music centre and the rear exit.
