As a result, three separate air raid shelters were constructed on the school site; two at the front and one at the rear of the main building.

This shelter differs in design from the others, being a large open room; though a corner is filled with concrete for the foundations of the building above.

The two other shelters that are on the northern and western sides of the site are made of a series of corridors, equipped with benches and black-boards.

The shelters were constructed at the time to keep students from the main building so teaching could continue, but it is believed the structures would not survive a direct hit.

This is the original building which houses the main hall, history, modern foreign languages, religious studies, chemistry, physics, the two drama studios, the Mary Smith library and the gym.

A block is a symmetrical building, consisting of two quadrangles surrounded by corridors, similar to cloisters, which originally had no windows and were open roofed; both have since been installed.

Construction commenced in January 2011 and was planned to be completed by Christmas, however due to delays, it was officially opened in April 2012 for students.

The newest addition to the school site is the Molly Tipples Sports Hall, named after the late Chairman of Governors.

[2] The hall contains a large multi-use games area, equipped with retractable basketball hoops and a sound system.

Each day throughout the week has a separate theme and lunch time performance, organised and selected by the head students for that year.

These houses compete in four annual competitions which encourage teamwork and team spirit and are a vibrant part of MGGS life.
