MICHAELHOUSE IMPACT REPORT 2025 FINAL

ACADEMIC FACILITIES AND LEARNING SPACES Investment in academic facilities delivered meaningful enhancements across departments. • The Science Department received state-of-the-art robotic apparatus for advanced practical learning. • Farfield classrooms underwent upgrades that revitalised the teaching environment and refreshed the Mathematics Department. • The Music Department added new pianos and marimbas, further supporting the achievements of our renowned competition marimba band. • The Digital Office ensured laptops were refreshed on schedule, while upgrades to the Makan Centre introduced 3D printers, a recording studio, and extensive AV technology across the campus - enriching both teaching and creative exploration. BOARDING HOUSE DEVELOPMENTS The transformation of Farfield House was the flagship boarding project of the year. Its refurbished common areas, lighter corridors, and modernised rooms have already begun to foster stronger bonds and a more productive living and learning environment. With West House next in line for refurbishment, our boarding modernisation programme continues to ensure that every house reflects the high standards and warmth of the Michaelhouse community.

SPORTS FACILITIES Sport remained a cornerstone of school life in 2025. • The High Performance Centre was equipped with new fitness apparatus. • Cricket acquired a new bowling machine, and water polo benefited from new lanes. • With basketball’s growing popularity, the outdoor courts were completely refurbished - ready to nurture the next generation of sporting stars. • Following the unusually wet seats the team have also tackled the drainage problems on Meadows and have taken the opportunity to level the field and surrounds as well.

STAFF AND COMMUNITY SPACES Beyond pupil-focused initiatives, Michaelhouse continued to invest in the people who make the community thrive. Staff housing refurbishments improved comfort and sustainability, while guest facilities were modernised to align with the School’s hospitality standards. Ablution upgrades across high-use facilities - including the Gym and Astro - reflect our attention to every detail that enhances daily life for staff and visitors alike. GROUNDS AND SECURITY

Our commitment to environmental responsibility and operational excellence extended across the estate.
