Our facilities are available for hosting many events, such as: creative classes, training events, fitness related classes, meetings, workshops and courses, children’s birthday parties, holiday clubs and other private or community events.
Larwood School will always consider reasonable requests for hiring the school’s facilities for local community and educational groups, but priority will be given to the following uses:
- After-school clubs during term-time for Larwood pupils only.
- Activities that the residential team have in place.
- Evening events organised by school, parents evening, gym and dance display, school pantomime etc.
All lettings to outside clubs etc. will be judged against potential clashes with existing users.
