The Opening Ceremony

Councillor Lavinia Sealy, Chairman of Surrey County Council with the Bishop of Guildford, the Right Reverend Christopher Hill officially open the Angela Champness Hall.

The Bishop unveiled a mural entitled "The Good Shepherd" which the children had created with artist Caroline Stanley.

We did it!

The Angela Champness Hall has been built and the refurbishment of the main school building is complete - all on budget and on time.  This was a fantastic team effort by Governors, Staff, parents and the Bramley Community.  However special thanks must go to Matthew Swinhoe at The Hutchinson Studio and Chris Mayes at Neilcott Construction for their hard work and commitment to this project.

The children are already enjoying these fantastic facilities on a daily basis.  We are delighted that the hall is also being used for after school clubs every school day.  If you haven't yet had an opportunity to look round, please join us at one of our events to celebrate the opening of the new hall:

15 November - 8.30am - 11.30am - Open Morning

16 November - 7.30pm - 9.00pm - Open Evening

18 November - 7.30pm - Parish Ladies Supper - Hear Caroline Stanley, Angela Champness' niece, who is a visual artist, talk about her journey from Canada to Bramley via Norway. Tickets available from the school office.

27 November - 9.45am - Holy Trinity Family Service in the Angela Champness Hall led by Canon John Bundock and assisted by architect Maxwell Hutchinson.

2011 will be an exciting year for

Bramley Infant School and

Bramley Early Learning School

Starting in February, we will be building a new hall and making improvements to the existing building.  Help us raise the final £30,000!

2011 will be an exciting year for Bramley Infant School and Early Learning School.  As you know, planning permission for the new hall was granted in December last year and Surrey County Council released £900,000 towards this project in November. You can see the full plans by clicking here.   Work will start in late February and the project is due to be completed by August of this year. Have a look at the Picture Gallery to see how the project is moving forward.

The project will provide a new hall, replace all of the exterior leaded light windows with new double glazed units, provide new cloakroom space, rewire the classrooms, as well as replace the boiler and radiators in the existing building. 

The new hall will be used by a range of children’s sports clubs and drama clubs, who are interested in offering after school and holiday activities which will be open to children of all ages living in Bramley and the surrounding areas. 

There is still a need to fundraise the final £30,000 and we are in the process of organising the following events – for tickets and more details, please contact the school office on 01483 892346:

Kidney Awareness Day - 4 July 2008

Angela Champness, Head of Bramley Infants School, has helped Kids Kidney Research compile a school's information pack for World Kidney Day on 13 March 2008.  Bramley Infants School is unable to mark the day itself, and so has chosen to dedicate 4th July to a day of activities and learning focusing on the amazing work that kidneys do.  For more information on World Kidney Day and to find out more about Kids Kidney Research, please visit their website by clicking here.
