CLAY CROSS JUNIOR SCHOOL

Clay Cross junior school

Clay Cross Junior School was built in 1894 and was in use up until April 2009 when it was vacated due to the local infant and junior schools merging and moving to Sharley Park Community Primary School.
It's stood in the same spot in the heart of Clay Cross for well over 100 years and has played a vital role in educating thousands of the villages children during that time.
Being of a typical victorian design it follows the same layout as other schools of the same age.
It has a large multifunctional hall/gym/dining room, with classrooms coming of the side of it.
Previously the nearby Infant school has been knocked down and replaced with Smithybrook View extra care facility.
Very recently this Junior school has followed the same fate as the Infant school and has just been demolished, the

The council say key parts of the building will be saved and reclaimed during the demolition process including plaques and ornamental brick works to mark the historic significance of the building and its heritage and will be reused within the regeneration plans for Clay Cross.
