A staggering £30million will be spent by City of London Freemen’s School to realise its “master plan”, and will include an eye-catching swimming pool.

Surrey Comet:

Phase two of the plan includes a complete refurbishment of the Ashtead 18th century mansion house, after phase one in 2014 saw the completion of a music school and boarding house.

The independent school is yet to decide how the new facility – including a swimming pool, learner pool and “events space” – will be made available to local schools and the public through its outreach programme.

Its current swimming pool is used by local primary schools and the public, and a spokesman for City of London Freemen’s said it intends to do the same with the new building.

Headmaster Roland Martin, who was appointed this month, said the plans would help give students “skills as well as qualifications”, as a part of the school’s “holistic education”.
