Peatmoor school completes western expansion
BLAYLOCKS
With nearly 12,000 houses occupied and no more land for further development within the present
SWINDON'S FAMILY boundaries of West Swindon, it could be said that the opening of Peatmoor community primary school
SHOE SHOP (Est. 1920) on 8 September marks its completion. The school represents the final piece in the jigsaw for town
expansion in the west, planned in the early 1970s. The first people arrived in Toothill in April 1976.
FOR BACK TO The £2.3 million school, handed over to headteacher Terri Peacock three weeks earlier than planned on
SCHOOL FOOTWEAR 21 July by Swindon Contractors, is the first to be built by Swindon Council since it regained responsibility
for education as a unitary authority in 1997.
• CLARKS • STAR-RITE Mrs Peacock said it was wonderful to open a new school with so many eager children, keen staff and
supportive parents.
