Much later in 1997, two brand new classrooms were built to replace those in the original building. The old building now became the school hall and a small staffroom and boiler house were built on.
The outside learning environment is an essential part of our children's learning experience and we take great pride in the upkeep of the grounds around the school. Throughout the year the children are able to detect the natural changes in the outside environment. In the spring and summer, particularly, they enjoy experiencing at first hand, the variety of life to be found there.
The school playing field has a Wild Area and pond in the far corner and also a 'Secret Garden'. Here the children are able to learn about plants and small creatures in order to enhance their classroom studies.
At the front of the school is the playground area where parents wait before and after school. It is surrounded by borders of shrubs and plants and there are many seating areas where the children can sit and chat quietly if they wish. The 'Friends' also built a gazebo for the children to play in. Around the school there are patios where the children can sit and read or work with an adult.
The children in the Foundation Stage have their own designated play area, which has recently been extended. It currently houses 'Daisy Lodge' - a wooden playhouse that was bought with funds raised by the children through their sponsored spell.
The whole school community takes great pride in the working environment. The children, parents and staff help with planting and watering and they are always involved in discussions for future projects. This year we have won an award for the 'Best Kept School Premises' in our town.
