Mcr Fit-Out completed a comprehensive refurbishment of the sports hall and adjacent corridors at St. Paul's High School in Manchester.
This project aimed to enhance the sports facilities and create a vibrant, functional environment for students.
Our team focused on redecoration, installing new flooring, and adding colourful graphics throughout the sports hall and corridors.
The goal was to create an inspiring and dynamic space that supports students' physical activities while fostering a positive learning environment.
Additionally, we managed the site to ensure that all work was completed within the required timeframe and with minimal disruption to the school's daily activities.
The result was a transformed sports hall that now serves as a modern and engaging space for sports and extracurricular activities.
Mcr Fit-Out's commitment to delivering high-quality, tailored solutions was evident throughout the project. We take pride in our role in creating a modern and vibrant space at St. Paul's High School that enhances learning and supports physical development.
Saint Paul's Catholic High School in Wythenshawe is a voluntary academy and co-educational comprehensive school for students aged 11-16. The school relocated to new buildings, with a £ 26 million rebuild in 2008. The school has around 900 students who are encouraged to develop their talents in art, music, drama and sport, in addition to more traditional academic subjects.
Saint Paul’s Catholic High School in Wythenshawe is a mixed 11–16 Roman Catholic secondary academy on Firbank Road, Newall Green, serving the Wythenshawe and Sale East area of south Manchester.
Wythenshawe Catholic and wider Corpus Christi Academy Trust schools (including several local Catholic primaries) form part of its feeder and partnership network, supporting a Catholic family of schools in the area.
Students commonly progress to local Catholic sixth-form providers such as Loreto College and Xaverian College for post-16 education.
Its communications stress working in partnership with local parishes and community organisations, using community projects to enrich the curriculum and foster students’ social and spiritual development.
The main indoor facility is a large multi-sport sports hall suitable for 5-a-side football, basketball, netball and other indoor games and fitness activities. Vivify Venues, which manages community hire, describes it as a spacious hall used by clubs, teams and fitness classes. Through Vivify, Saint Paul’s offers evening and weekend hire of its sports hall and outdoor spaces to local clubs, teams and community groups, positioning the site as a community sports hub as well as a school venue. The school also promotes free gym and class access initiatives for young people aged 11–16 via local partnerships, which dovetails with their use of on-site and nearby sports facilities. This mix of curricular PE, extra-curricular clubs and external bookings helps maintain high utilisation of the facilities.
