In the early 1990s, the Governors announced exciting plans to move the school to a new building further down Eton Avenue. The staff were involved in the planning and development of ideas for the new building and in 1994 the whole school attended a ceremony for the laying of the foundation stone. A time capsule was then buried in the far corner of the new gym, which may be found by future generations if this building is ever demolished. The time capsule contents include coins, a fountain pen, some of the school uniform, letters written by the girls at the time and school magazines.
In 1995, the school moved into the award-winning purpose-built premises at 15 Eton Avenue, designed by Allies and Morrison. At the official opening ceremony, instead of a small ribbon at the front door for a VIP to cut, the building was encircled by a giant ribbon with a huge bow at the front door. The school looked like an enormous birthday present! All the girls gathered at the front of the school and had balloons which they launched into the air.
In September 1995, the School also welcomed the first Nursery and Reception girls. Our modern and inspiring environment has since been extended, and continues to be improved. Despite the many changes and developments over the years, Sarum Hall School has remained true to Miss Webb’s original vision of a school that promotes outstanding education for girls.
