After several years of waiting, the new Church Gresley Infant and Nursery School is now open.
To mark the occasion on Friday 8th November, a service was held in the playground of the old York Road comprising of songs with help from the Gresley Male Voice Choir, a symbolic release of balloons and some prayers from local Minister Andrea Sims. This was followed by a parade of the children between the old school and new school and 2 lucky children selected at random cut the tape in an unofficial opening ceremony.
I have attached some pictures below which are not of fantastic quality but give an indication of the event.
Some pictures that were of fantastic quality were on display at the Methodist Church on Saturday 9th November and the exhibition was very well attended. With pictures and documents relating to the school throughout it's 136 year history, there were a lot of nostalgic reminiscences.
