Our school is full of character and combines charming and quirky period features with modern additions. Classrooms, the dining room, school hall and offices are based in a series of two and three storey converted houses, the oldest of which dates back to 1901 and has a beautiful stained glass window and original Victorian floor tiles.
The school’s location, a short walk from Walsall town centre, means outside space is limited but we are resourceful and find ways to negate the geography. For example, we have created direct, secure access from the playground into the magnificent Walsall Arboretum, a 35-acre, beautifully maintained Victorian park that we neighbour.
We make good use of the arboretum for outdoor learning, cross country, sports days, picnics and more and travel a matter of minutes to a first class university sports facility for games and PE lessons.
We were lucky enough to embark on a huge investment project, totalling £200,000.
This included a 500m2 flood-lit multi-use sports pitch, pre-marked, for after school sports training and fixtures.
The Nursery and Lower Prep playgrounds were also resurfaced and replaced with brightly coloured play areas, complete with games markings and built with a soft artificial grass material to ensure children can play safely.
Our school is a fully functioning theatre and performance area, complete with new stage and blackout wall curtains, a new lighting rig, lighting desk and sound system with mixer deck.
In addition, we have wireless coverage throughout the school, which means mobile devices can be used in any classroom to support any subject area, allowing for a fully integrated and cross-curricular approach to ICT.
