In our 101 Reasons to Love the Cotswolds collection, Funding boost for Chipping Campden School stands out as a reminder that the area is about much more than pretty views.
On this page we look at what makes it special, with details including Cotswold News, Funding and Chipping Campden School, and a little of the context that helps you see it as more than just another stop on the map.

The centre will include an auditorium to seat up to 340, dance and drama studios, green room, classroom, a bar area, high quality technical and audio equipment and an Amphitheatre.
Steve Malik, head of construction for Duchy Homes, said: “We are always keen to play a part in building links with the local communities in the areas where we develop housing, so we are thrilled to be able to present CCS with this cheque which is in addition to our previous commitment to help fund the Performing Arts Centre.
“Helping to support communities is a vital part of what we do, having built both the keyworker houses next to the school and those for open market.”
As a result of the new Performing Arts Centre, the school will not only benefit from the enhanced teaching spaces but will also be able to expand the number of courses on offer to students interested in the performing arts.
In addition, the local community will have access to professional performances, live screenings, cinema showings and a space to hire for events.
“Access to affordable housing for our staff is hugely important and we now have 13 homes adjacent to school” said CCS principal John Sanderson. “I would like to acknowledge the significantinvestment, time and resources from the school’s Housing Association over the last two years ensuring that the additional funds generated by Duchy Homes have been directed to the CCS PAC Campaign.
“I am also enormously grateful to those who have so far supported the project.”
