On Saturday 15th June 2024, Ivy House School received an exciting delivery: a disused train carriage, escorted by three police vehicles and transported on a large haulage lorry. The carriage was carefully lowered onto recycled railway sleepers and tracks, which had been installed earlier that month.
Following its arrival, FDL Contractors got straight to work, launching the transformation of the old, weathered carriage that had once traveled through Wales. Inside, everything was cleared out, making way for new lighting, flooring, and custom-built bookcases to create our new school library.
We are currently awaiting final safety checks and the installation of an external vinyl wrap, while our treasured books are being moved in.
We’re incredibly excited about this new chapter and know our students, families, and staff share in the excitement. Stay tuned—we’ll be announcing the grand opening date soon!
