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:
“I’m not making light of prayers here, but of so-called school prayer, which bears as much resemblance to real spiritual experience as that freeze-dried astronaut food bears to a nice standing rib roast. From what I remember of praying in school, it was almost an insult to God, a rote exercise in moving your mouth while daydreaming or checking out the cutest boy in the seventh grade that was a far, far cry from soul-searching.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“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)
