17 Year Aspiration Our plan is to maximise all opportunities, which means maximising those in each of the sections above (with the possibility that another section will be needed in this timescale). It is not possible to put individual 4-year figures on each of these sections owing to incomplete background information. Also, bearing in mind that currently only 1 of 6 of our secondary schools has a 4-court hall, but the planned opening at Sir Frederic Osborn School in Autumn 2014 and Bishops Hatfield Girls school are well into the planning phase, and Onslow St Audrey also looking at possibilities, it is clear that maximising our presence at these new facilities could swamp the other figures. A more accurate estimate will be possible in January
