Southborough Sports Grounds Development Project

Southborough plans to create a full size 3G sports ground within its existing playing fields.

As part of a continuous facilities improvement programme, the school plans to develop this project to significantly improve the school's sports offer to its students and to meet the need of the wider community for sports facilities in the local area.

Due to the variable weather conditions - particularly during the winter months - our current sports fields can become waterlogged, and as a result a significant number of fixtures and training sessions have to be cancelled. The building of this 3G sports pitch will ensure that sporting activities can proceed no matter the weather conditions.
