LOCATION

The School is situated on a quiet and shady site adjoining the Ridge Church at the junction of Gamel Abdul Nasser Avenue and Guinea Bissau Road. While conveniently close to one of the main approaches to Accra from the North and East, it is far enough from main roads to be free from the noise and the danger of motor traffic to children.


OVERVIEW

The School buildings are of modern design and provide classrooms, a sick bay, a school counsellor’s office, toilets, caretaker’s quarters and an Administrative block. This block houses offices for the Accounts Department, the Assistant Head (KG & Lower Primary) and the Headmistress. There is also an office for the Assistant Head (JHS), Assistant Head (Upper Primary) an Administrative office and an office for the Guidance and Counselling Coordinator.

Two blocks constructed in 1961 and 1966 respectively are specially designed for the youngest children and have their own toilets and play area separate from the other school buildings. In 1987, another block was completed and occupied by classes two and three. A new JSS block was built when the 9 years Basic Education course was initiated and was first occupied in October 1990. A two storey Multi-Purpose Block comprising of an Assembly Hall a library, computer laboratory and a classroom was also commissioned in April 2006.

In line with the long term development of the school as well as making the school able to admit KG 2 pupils, the school started restructuring of some of its existing facilities in 2010. This involved the construction of an additional storey block to the :

  1. block housing classes two to four. This was handed over to the school in February 2011.
  2. Sick bay and old Class one block. This was handed over to the school in September 2011 and is currently the KG department.

The new class one block (ie old class 2 block) was converted into a two-storey building and handed over to the school in February 2018. The block also houses a Junior ICT laboratory, a Junior Science laboratory, a Ghanaian Language classroom and an office for the School Chaplain.

A walkway linking the KG block to the JHS block was constructed and handed over to the school in March 2012.

A new Pre-Technical skills workshop was also constructed and handed over to the school in December 2012.

In 2019, an astro turf was constructed and handed over to the school in May 2019. The with changing rooms and an adjoining security post are still under construction.
