New School
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:
“Neither can I do anything to please critics belonging to the good old school of “projected biography,” who examine an author’s work, which they do not understand, through the prism of his life, which they do not know.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“The child to be concerned about is the one who is actively unhappy, [in school].... In the long run, a child’s emotional development has a far greater impact on his life than his school performance or the curriculum’s richness, so it is wise to do everything possible to change a situation in which a child is suffering excessively.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
