The School Site
Before the opening of the new building in September 2007, the school occupied a large split site separated by a busy road, and there was a great deal of movement between the two sites. The old school building, which stands on The Green in Hasland and is currently being used by the Local Education Authority, was vacated in the Summer of 2007 and the children moved to a new school which was built in the grounds of Hasland Hall Community School for the start of the 2007-2008 academic year, costing £4.292 million, of which Derbyshire County Council paid £4.213 million, and the school contributing £64,000.

Famous quotes containing the words school and/or site:
“The problem for the King is just how strict
The lack of liberty, the squeeze of the law
And discipline should be in school and state....”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“I am not aware that any man has ever built on the spot which I occupy. Deliver me from a city built on the site of a more ancient city, whose materials are ruins, whose gardens cemeteries. The soil is blanched and accursed there, and before that becomes necessary the earth itself will be destroyed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
