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:
“Children in home-school conflict situations often receive a double message from their parents: “The school is the hope for your future, listen, be good and learn” and “the school is your enemy. . . .” Children who receive the “school is the enemy” message often go after the enemy—act up, undermine the teacher, undermine the school program, or otherwise exercise their veto power.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“That is a pathetic inquiry among travelers and geographers after the site of ancient Troy. It is not near where they think it is. When a thing is decayed and gone, how indistinct must be the place it occupied!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
