St Francis' College, Letchworth

The College occupies a single campus of 3.1 hectares (7.66 acres) comprising a number of buildings, playing fields, gardens and other facilities.

The Broadway building contains inter alia the residential area for the boarders, classrooms, sixth form centre, head's and their deputy's offices and some of the college administration staff.

The middle school building was built in 1919 and Mrs Annie Besant, president of the Theosophical education trust, laid what was then a cornerstone to mark the occasion.

The theatre and gymnasium were built in 1924 at the same time as the northern part of middle school and again the foundation stone was laid by the, later, Dr Annie Besant.

Originally it was intended to be an assembly hall, but at the eleventh hour the design was altered to add a fly tower and create a theatre.
