Playground levelling
Sun 24 Jan 2016This week sees preparations for the playground and surround hard surfaces. Careful levelling, skilful rolling and clever edging mean the space is ready for the first of the top coats of tarmac. The area outside the pre-school part of the foundation unit will be a soft play surface. The building teams are looking forward to clean surfaces round the school as it will mean most of the mud is covered up and the site will be much cleaner as the finishing touches are added.

Children say new hall is awesome
Thu 14 Jan 2016The new hall is really impressive and as many of the children on a recent visit said it was the best bit describing it as ‘incredible’ and ‘awesome’. The hall is already being eyed up by local badminton players and parents are looking forward to being able to all sit down at the very well supported productions with the extra space for chairs!!! The new hall will allow us to do so much more educationally and will be a really asset to the community as a whole.
