History of our school

The school was founded in 1840 and the present building was opened in 1863 by the Methodist mill owner, John Robinson Kay, to serve the children of the mill working community.  Athough the school has developed and modernised to meet the needs of a changing world, it still values its links with the past.

We are a Voluntary Controlled Methodist School and work in co-operation with Rowlands Methodist Church to serve the village of Summerseat.

 

 

 

 

Recent Developments

Over the past few years we have been focussing on developing the outdoor spaces in school.  Our new playground area has just been opened - "Copse Corner" offers the children an adventure playground, quiet area pavillion with story telling chair, and a dedicated space for the Early Years.

Thanks to funding from the Big Lottery Fund we have also developed the woodland area at the bottom of our car park.  This is a community woodland area, providing a much needed space for children to learn about the natural environment.
