Stanah Primary School (formerly Stanah County Primary School and Stanah Community Primary School) is a mixed primary school located in the Stanah area of Thornton, Lancashire, England
Contents
Built in the 1960s, [1] the school, located on Lambs Road (or, as it is known locally, Lambs Hill), has around 400 pupils, aged 4 to 11. [2] Its head teacher is Rachel Legge, [3] who succeeded H. M. Clough. Clough replaced Ian Todd who, after three-and-a-half years as head, took up a position at the University of Cumbria in January 2010. Mr. Todd's predecessor was Tony Ford, who retired in the summer of 2006 after twelve years in the role. [1] One of the earlier and long-serving head teachers was Jean Fisher. Another was Mr. Evans, who was headmaster in the 1970s.
The school comprises two separate prefabricated buildings. [4] A smaller annex (infants) is attended by the foundation class and years 1 and 2. For year 3, the children move into the larger main building (juniors). The smaller building was mothballed in the early 1980s when school rolls dropped, [1] but it was renovated and reopened around a decade later. The infants building also houses a preschool nursery originally called Stanah Sunflowers but which was then bought and renamed to Oak Tree Nursery.
On the junior's building stands the school's distinctive chimney.
