In 1981 the
two schools amalgamated and one school was created: Grangetown
Primary School. Later, a seperate nursery was added. |
| In
September 2003 a brand new school opened, following the
demolition of the old building. The photograph on the right

Time Machine -
let's go back 50 years!
For a nostalgic and fascinating glimpse into the past, click
here
to visit our page of photographs taken in 1959. As well
as a view of how the school looked from the outside, you will
see photographs of every class (with children's and staff
names), a staff line-up, plus photographs of the children
playing shops, reading, doing PE, playing musical instruments
and having lunch.
The children featured in the photographs will all now be in
their mid to late-50s. If you spot yourself on one of the
photographs, please call into school and we'll print you a good
quality copy - and we hope you can share your memories of your
school days with our children. |
