An open air swimming pool and associated facilities are located between the two buildings and a Pre School is situated in the north-west corner of the site. The School currently operates as a 2FE Primary School, however, due to increasing demand in Christchurch additional accommodation is required at Highcliffe St Mark School.

The proposals comprise a two storey steal framed extension located to the north of the former Infant School building, to which it will be linked, and to the side of the swimming pool. The extension will contain three class bases at ground floor level, Food Technology, Learning Resources, Studio and a Preparation Area at first floor level, together with associated stores, cloaks and toilets. The project also includes internal alterations to both existing buildings, improvements to the car parking and landscaping works which will have to be undertaken during the School's 2016 summer holiday. The current proposal is to appoint a Main Contractor in November 2015 and commence works in December 2015 with completion required in August 2016.
