14th May 2021A day to remember
Thakeham provided the exciting opportunity to give the Warninglid Primary School staff a tour of their new £4 million school in Woodgate, Pease Pottage. The staff were eager to see the progress of the school site since their last visit six months ago.
Equipped with hard hats and hi-vis jackets, Warninglid staff had a wonderful time exploring their future classrooms that will build future generations to come.
Martin Parnell, School Governor, said, “I’ve never seen the staff so excited”.

Brett North, Group Marketing Director for Thakeham Group, said, “It is great to see the school taking shape at such an early stage at the same time as Woodgate being developed.”
“We are very excited for those moving to Woodgate to have the opportunity for their kids move to the school”.
