Located in Luton, Bedfordshire, Denbigh High School became a Specialist Sports College in April 2005 and since then has provided high-quality sports facilities to the local community. Facilities include a full-size sports hall (equipped with badminton courts, basketball nets and cricket nets), dance studio, floodlit artificial turf football pitches and floodlit netball/tennis courts.
We spoke to Lauren Allcroft, Marketing and Community Host Manager at the School about her experiences with Pitchbooking.
