چکیده
Late in the summer term of 1999, the staff and pupils of Annandale Primary, a mainstream primary school of 240 pupils, were informed of a proposal to move them into a brand-new building on the Greenwich peninsula. The school has a very mixed socio-economic intake, with a catchment area encompassing both private and social housing; 35 per cent of the pupils have free school meals, 25 per cent have English as an additional language (EAL) and 26 per cent have special educational needs. In February 2001, Annandale Primary moved into the new building and was renamed Millennium Primary School.
