About

Our school has been located in Stanbridge since the late 19th century. As you tour our school you will notice both old and new parts to the building. Over the years new extensions and renovations have taken place, but our school still retains its historical feel throughout the building.

We are proud of our school building and try to keep the history of the building alive for future generations of children to enjoy.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
