After years of effort, we successfully secured an SCA bid, with the Salisbury Diocese providing the majority of the funding. With planning permission granted, our outdated KS2 mobile classroom will be replaced. While it has served its purpose, we look forward to the addition of the new KS2 building, which will join to the old school building. We are all very excited.
Term 6 saw us all working together in KS1, moving the staff out of their staff room, having a stud wall erected in Thatchers so that Foresters could join them. It was cosy but it would be perfect while the building outside progressed.
Building works started but typically progress was a little slow, but by the end of the Summer holidays the floor done and we could see the building's footprint.
In September, we returned to school - a re-juggle of classes again to suit our changing class sizes - but still together in the lovely old building. Space was tight and whole school Worships are tricky but again everyone was supporting each other and we were doing our best.
A start of the new school year and things seemed to be progressing slowly, but by week 2 all the hard work in the factory, behind the scenes, has meant that we saw a huge difference on Tuesday with the sides going up and then the next day, the roof being delivered. The crane was hugely exciting during our stop and drop!

20th September - myself, Mrs Bawden and Gussie could go inside the building for the first time... and it looks great!
We have chosen a floor, the doors and toilet cubicles. It is becoming very real. Completion is still on for the end of October 2024.
