In August 1977 'mobile' classrooms were transported to the Field Lane
site. The mobile units consisted of 5 classrooms, two cloak areas [one
of which was used for the Infant Library area] and separate toilets for
Girls, Boys and Staff forming a 'U' shape facing Field Lane. There was
no covered link to the Junior Building and the Staff and children
encountered all weather conditions when going to and from the Hall for
Assembly and PE. In 1983 the 'U' shape entrance to the Infant mobiles
was covered in [but not enclosed] and a covered way was installed
between the mobiles and the main building. Both were of steel structure,
clad with plastic sheeting of 'corrugated style'. The 'covered walkway'
had three open accesses, one located at the lower end of the concrete
steps opening on to the lower playground and two opposite each other at
the head of the concrete steps. In 1994 doors were fitted to these
openings which made the 'covered way' more convivial but not airtight.
At the time the 'covered way' was installed a further half mobile unit
was attached. This new addition was intended to be an additional
entrance but was soon used as an overflow for the Reception Classes and
Infant television area. [The covered way was not taken to the original
entrance to the mobiles as it would have obstructed light entering a
classroom]. A further addition to the mobiles was added in 1986 Its
purpose was to be an overflow for the two Year 2 classrooms but this was
soon to be utilised as another classroom [even though it was only half
the size of the other classrooms] |
