Our outdoor
swimming pool which was generously funded by many in the community is now
almost 30 years old and in need of a considerable overhaul and substantial
investment to prolong it’s life. It has been a remarkable asset for the school
and many generations of children have learnt to swim in it during the summer
months.
During
recent times the school has developed strong links with Framlingham College and
their indoor swimming pool facility allows for our children to swim all year
round. It is a very successful venture and one which is in place for the long
term.
The Governors
have therefore taken the difficult and emotional decision to decommission
our outdoor pool, make it safe and
consider ideas for the development of the site as part of the front aspect of the
school.
We feel that as our school is at the heart of the
town this is a whole community project which may take several years to
complete. Within this project the Governors would wish to recognise the
generosity of the past through a suitable memorial.
We would
like to hear thoughts from anyone who has ideas about how we could improve this
area or indeed if you feel you could support this project financially we would
love to hear from you.
As time
progresses we will be keeping you updated via our school website www.roberthitchams.ik.org
If you would
like to contribute your ideas please do so by contacting us through
admin@hitchams.suffolk.sch.uk or posting your ideas into our school office.
Unfortunately we do not have the capacity to take telephone calls or have
personal conversations however your ideas will be discussed at a Governors
Forum from which we will develop a plan.
We look
forward to hearing from you and welcome your thoughts to help us to make this a
more vibrant and exciting place for generations of children to come.
