Buxton Primary pupils relocated to Company Road

Students of the Company Road Primary School (in blue in foreground) and the Buxton Primary School (in green in background) head home after the end of classes at the Company Road Primary where both schools are now being housed.

While the residents of Buxton and the Ministry of Education (MoE) continue to be at odds over the fate of the building which houses the Buxton Primary School, the students of that school have been comfortably accommodated at the Company Road Primary.

Following two separate evaluations of the building which houses the Buxton Primary School on the East Coast of Demerara and the Hendon’s Nursery School, the MoE decided to close Hendon’s Nursery and relocate the students of Buxton Primary until such time as the building could be properly rehabilitated.

When Stabroek News visited Company Road Primary to check on the transition of the teachers and learners it observed what several described as a relatively smooth process. The school appeared to have enough space to house the teachers and learners of both schools comfortably.
