The refurbishment followed the demolition of 12 classrooms in three old buildings to make way for Godwin Hall, a stylish and contemporary upper 11 form boarding and day house, which opened earlier this year.
The prep school wing was officially opened on Thursday, November 28, by former chairman of governors and Old Ardinian Robert Alston, and blessed by the Rt Rev Lindsay Urwin.
Prep school head teacher Chris Calvey said: “Our school has seen a healthy growth in pupil numbers and it’s wonderful to have been able to move into a wing of the original college building.”
