KWC and Buchan to be on one site

King William’s College, Isle of Man

King William’s College (KWC) and The Buchan School has announced its plans for consolidation of its campus, marking the start of a new chapter in the School’s history. 

Following careful planning with a professional design team, multiple scenarios were explored and presented to the Governing Board in April.

The School presented the plans to parents and staff this week on the same day as its Summer Open Day.  

The announcement includes preliminary designs and mood boards and a timeline outlining the consolidation process, which can be viewed HERE

The school says that centralising resources and activities, it aims to cultivate a more enriching and holistic learning environment, including enhanced collaboration, access to specialised facilities and resources, and expanded extracurricular opportunities.

Mr Henderson added: “The consolidation of King William’s College and The Buchan School onto one site represents our continued commitment to providing an exceptional educational experience for our students, while optimising resources and maximising opportunities for growth and collaboration.”
