Building Work Update – June 2021

Building Works letter

RE: Building work.

Dear Parents & Carers,

As we near the end of the spring term, I would like to thank you for the positive response to returning to full school opening. Though we are still working under safe covid regulations, the children have been really sensible and had adapted quickly.

Just to add to the chaos, the next phase of our building project is starting and is having a major impact on the junior building. Two classes 4RD & 4LD are moving from their area to temporary classrooms upstairs, the move has been well organised and all resources needed have been transferred to their new rooms. From Monday 29th March those classes will be in their new rooms and will remain there until the end of term.

There will be eight classes of children upstairs all using one stair case to enter and exit, this will be managed by staff so that year group bubbles can be maintained and that safe travel can be assured. In the event of an emergency we will be able to access the two staircases and fire evacuation plans have been updated. We are trying to maintain the same drop off and pick up times but this will have to be kept under review.

The building project also means that some internal corridors through school to the dining hall will not be able to be used and all the junior children will have to go around the external route and enter the hall from the back entrance. On fine days this will just be an inconvenience and works well with military planning of times, however on wet days the children will need to wear their coats with hoods. I apologise for this inconvenience but there is no other route to the dining hall. Please make sure that your child always has an outside coat with a hood so that if it does rain they will not get wet.

The final impact of the building disruption is the loss of some internal toilets, we have temporary toilet blocks situated at the back of the school near the year 3 exit. Obviously, these toilets will have to be closely supervised so children are safely using the facilities.

The new phase of the building will mean that we will have three new large classrooms, some intervention rooms and updated, modern toilets. We can’t have improvements without the disruption, the staff have all been amazing, no complaints just getting on with it and the children are as always fabulous.

Thank you as always for your co-operation

Yours Sincerely

Mrs M Walsh

Headteacher

Building Work Update

The first stages of the work on our school building are now complete and we are loving being able to use the amazing new facilities in school. We are now eagerly awaiting the beginning of the next stages of the project. Stay tuned to our school website and twitter account for our regular news updates regarding the next phase of our school re-development!

Building Work Update

We are waiting for dates for our next exciting phase of building work – dates to follow!

Building Work Update (November 2018)

Today something very interesting happened in school, as we came in to find another giant crane on the playground! Everybody was really excited to find out what it was doing, and our news team were very lucky as they had the chance to go and see it in action! The builders told us that the crane was putting a new ventilation system into our school, which would be connected to all of the new rooms. We all watched in amazement as the crane lifted the ventilation system into place before the builders even let us take some pictures together in front of it when the job was finished!

Building Work Update (October 2018)

The building work on our school has continued to make good progress over the last few weeks, with the new rooms and offices close to our new reception area nearing completion. This week has been very busy with some exciting work taking place on the playground, involving laying the new tarmac outside the new reception area, as well as work beginning on building the new extension at the back of the school outside the hall. The new logo at the front of our school, and where our new reception will be, is up and looks amazing, and we can’t wait until we are able to see the rest of our new rooms when they are complete.
