Our capital building project will be in two phases to transform the school's indoor sports facilities.
In total, the Bramston Foundation will be seeking to support the school with £5m+ to achieve the whole vision and both building phases, over a period of five years.
It is possible to make annual pledged payments in support of the project, as well as gifts of shares, one-off gifts, CAF donations and international payments. For information or to discuss how you would like to play your part in supporting active lives at St Swithun's, please email us or fill in our pledge card and we will contact you.
Phase 1, indoor courts with a spectator gallery
The first phase will build covered netball and tennis courts, which can be used for other indoor activities as well, with an additional strength and conditioning suite. Upstairs, there will be a spectator gallery to watch the action, as well as additional car parking and separate entrance and exit from Alresford Road.
ESTIMATED BUILDING COST: £5m
ESTIMATED BUILD TIMELINE: 12-18 months
PROPOSED FUNDING MODEL: The Bramston Foundation is seeking to fundraise half of the costs of this development or at least a minimum of £2m towards the phase 1 building costs of £5m. It is possible to split a pledge across two years (2025 and 2026). It is also possible to make a pledge for the whole project and split it across five years.
Phase 1, strength and conditioning suite
The second building phase will create three generous indoor studios, a gym, new changing facilities, both wet and dry, and a café overlooking the school's iconic grass pitches.
ESTIMATED BUILDING COST: Circa £10m
ESTIMATED BUILD TIMELINE: 2-3 years
PROPOSED FUNDING MODEL: The School Council will seek a further contribution from the Bramston Foundation and the school community to help with the costs of this second much larger building with a fundraised income target of £3m+. With the second phase, it will be possible to make a pledge and split over three years (2027-2029).
Phase 2, gym and café building
