New classrooms at Andrews’ Endowed
CE Primary School are Finally Complete!
for our Y1 and Y2 children, who no longer need to go out
in the rain and wind to get to and from their classrooms!
We also have two new outdoor learning spaces, one for
Acorns (Early Years) and one which is shared between Y1
and Y2. These spaces allow the children to take their
learning in and out of the classroom as the need arises. We
can already see the significant impact the building is having
on the school as a whole.
On Wednesday 3rd November we welcomed the children
back after an extended half term break into our
beautiful, finished school.
Over the past five months we have had three classrooms
fully refurbished, fitted new windows in the kitchen, the
playground and the driveway have been resurfaced, our
bins have been relocated to a secure store, the mobile
classrooms have been demolished and the site
re-landscaped and, of course, our two brand new
classrooms have been built.
What we have been able to create is a purpose built Early
Years/KS1 department which flows through from our
original building. The new classrooms are light, bright and
completely appropriate for young children’s learning. The
whole building represents a huge improvement, particularly
We could not have completed the project without the
support and commitment of the village, for which we are
enormously grateful. We would like to thank everyone who
has helped us
and also to thank
our neighbours
who have had to
put up with the
noise and
upheaval.
If you have not
had a chance to
see the new
classrooms and
would like to,
particularly if you
have donated a
brick and would
like to see it in
situ, you would be most welcome to visit – please contact
the school office to arrange a suitable time.
With thanks and very best wishes from Maria Lloyd, Head
teacher, and everyone at Andrews’ Endowed CE Primary
School.
Andrews’ Endowed School - a message from the
Headmistress, Maria Lloyd
In partnership with the Diocese of Portsmouth and Winchester and through the generosity and enthusiastic
fundraising of the Holybourne village community, our parents and friends, we are delighted to have completed our
project to build two brand-new classrooms for our Early Years and Y1 pupils and refurbish three further classrooms
throughout the school.
The project builds on the work begun by our school’s founder, Thomas Andrews, in 1719, providing education for
the children of Holybourne and the surrounding villages now and for the future, creating an environment designed
for 21st Century learning, within our beautiful 18th Century setting.
The project was completed in early November 2010.
