Over the course registered in England & Wales.

As you will see from the plans below, the bulk of the development will see a building in the air space over the rear car park.

Once we break up on Friday 10 July Company no: 03033574 Registered Office: 6 Albion Hill, they will be based in the playground for access storage of materials. Loughton, Essex IG10 4RA

Schools Principals: Mr M Hagger B.A. (Hons), M.Ed., PGCE Mr N Hagger M.A. (Oxon) This is a very tight schedule and although the builders will be working six days Mrs A Hagger Cert.Ed. each week throughout the summer break, there is a risk that the building will not be totally complete by the time we return to school in September. However, given the additional benefits that the development will bring, we consider that this is a risk worth taking.
