The first school was controversially demolished in September 2003 after much opposition from local residents. A new modern school was built at a cost of £3.5m ($5.1m USD) and was placed in a different location. The site of the old school was sold for £285,000 ($412,386 USD).

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“The academic expectations for a child just beginning school are minimal. You want your child to come to preschool feeling happy, reasonably secure, and eager to explore and learn.”
—Bettye M. Caldwell (20th century)
“The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
