"We've got amazing new grounds and a brilliant brand new hall which is something we haven't really got at this school so we'll be able to do far more things for the children."Students gathered to say good bye to their current building, ahead of the move on 27 FebruaryAmy, 11, said her favourite memory at the school were the discos, despite the small space.The new purpose-built site has capacity to teach up to 120 students.
