You've probably heard the saying "an army marches on its stomach", well that is as true today as it was a hundred years ago. Today, you'll get to enjoy meals (or 'scoff') in the canteen with your mates, where you'll get to choose from a wide range of meals - including Halal and vegetarian.

 

The gym is equipped with a wide selection of weights and fitness machines, sports halls set up for basketball, indoor football, volleyball or circuit training.

There is an athletic track and indoor climbing wall, plus a large indoor heated swimming pool. All sports and fitness facilities are provided free of charge.
