3AK - New School Walkabout!

This morning we explored our new school building! We loved looking at the Library and the new D.T room!

Building Update 9th September 2016

How is our new school getting on? 

I visited the new school yesterday with some officials from the DfE.  The builders are working very hard to complete our building on time. on most days there are 50 workers working on it. 

The side of the building that faces the school will be one of the last sides to be completed.

Lots of work has taken place internally.  Take a look at these pictures.

End of and Era!

A primary school will be celebrating 82 years of schooling before pupils and teachers begin a new chapter in their new school building.

 

Suttons Primary School, Suttons Lane, Hornchurch, will be moving into a new building due to be completed in October.

 

But staff are now inviting present and past governors, staff, volunteers and pupils who have been involved with the school over the years to re-visit Suttons on Friday September 30 between 4pm and 7pm.

The evening is to celebrate the end of an era in the current school building, which was built as a temporary school in 1934 just before the end of the war and is due to be demolished in the Spring of 2017.

Old school records, headteacher diaries, roll books, pictures and artefacts will be on display for guests to enjoy but there is still time for people to get any of their old photos or information included.

Refreshments will also be provided during the evening.

Teaching Block 1 (TB1)

A long awaited visit today to view the inside of the first teaching block (TB1). 

This block houses:
GROUND FLOOR: Nursery, 2x Reception classrooms and the new Computing Suite. It also contains 2 Small Group Rooms, a Hygiene Room and a SEN Therapy Room.

FISRT FLOOR: 2x Year 5 classroom, 2x Year 6 classrooms, Staffroom, Small Group Room, Server Room and a Staff Work Room.

 

 

 

 

 

New School Building - First pieces go in!

On Tuesday 15th march 2016 at 4.15pm the first piece of our new school was craned into place.  The first piece was the wall between the Nursery Classroom and one of the Reception classrooms.

This signified the start of a huge 'jigsaw' that will eventually be our new school.

2 days later, nearly all of the ground floor of one of the teaching blocks has been installed and the children and staff eagerly await for more pieces of the building to arrive.

Site Visit to The New School

Last week Mr Gentle, Mr Bailey, Mrs Compton and Mrs Audritt all took a tour of the new school.  Galliford Try have been working hard to install the foundations of our new buildings. The children have enjoyed seeing this site progress. 

If you look really hard, you will be able to make out the outline of the entire building!  Please do take the time to have a look.

New Building-first 3 weeks.

As you may be aware, Suttons Primary is in the process of having a new school built.
Year 4 have been given the honour to keep a close eye on the progress of the new building.
Every week, year 4 have been taking pictures next to the building site to allow us to document this special time in Suttons Primary School history.

Below are some of the photos taken so far in the past 3 weeks. See if you are able to spot the difference in each week!
