Cracking New Facility
After shelling out on a six figure development to extend its Infants' section Rossall marked the occasion in cracking fashion, with a giant Easter egg.
Rossall allowed eggstatic infant school head pupils, Jasmine, 7 and Alexander, 6, to bash at the 2 feet tall confection, weighing in at a whopping 40lbs, to celebrate the opening of the new Infant school extension, which has given the school 25% greater capacity to cope with the surge in pupil numbers in the past twelve months.
Jasmine and Alexander starred with other infant pupils who paraded Easter bonnets before an invited audience of parents and teachers to celebrate the official launch, following nine months of construction work on site. The new extension provides additional classrooms, a new library, changing, and additional toilet facilities for pupils.
The giant egg was custom made for the event by specialist North West chocolatiers and following the opening has been donated to Derian House Children’s Hospice for distribution amongst the children who are resident during the holiday period. Rossall pupils each received individual Easter eggs to help celebrate
Rossall’s Head of Juniors, Simon James believes that the new extended infant school is one of the best in the region. He said: “The School’s growing reputation dictated the building of such a large development to enable us to accept the numbers of new pupils now wishing to attend Rossall. “Having 160-acres into which to expand is an obvious benefit when one has plans to grow. And, even with the new building we still have plenty of outside space for the children, so there was no compromise involved when we decided to add so much more new internal capacity. The result is a fantastic, spacious new facility, which will help us to cater for the increases in pupil numbers over the next few years.”
