We began erecting scaffolding and temporary roofs, almost 100 years to the day that Father Nicholson had transferred his pupils from the original site of the All England Lawn Tennis Club to establish this Catholic Boys School.

Three large Victorian blocks were re-covered with Penhryn Welsh slates, selected to match in every detail, both in size and colour, the original architect, Samuel Tenlon's intention. Lead lined box gutters and flat roofs completed the roofing whilst teams of masons restored the soft clay brickwork and the stone window surrounds.

The original cast iron windows were removed, sand blasted, restored and replaced. Modern extensions on the Site also required attention and nearly three thousand square metres of high performance insulated flat roofs were re-laid and several sets of double glazed industrial performance swing doors were installed.
