THE move of a Hampshire secondary
school to a greenfield site will not
happen for at least five years, says its
head teacher.
Perins School in Alresford has been
considering selling its current site in
the centre of the town and moving to
farmland off Sun Lane.
Head teacher Janice Bernard said
that the idea of moving the school to
land east of Sun Lane was attractive
but that the governors were a long way
from putting up a for sale' sign and
inviting bids for the Pound Hill site.
It would free prime housing land and
provide education bosses with the
opportunity for a purpose-built school.
Mrs Bernard said: "I think it's a very
interesting idea and the governors are
going to look at it and study it in detail.
"We've set up a working group to
hopefully include the junior and infant
schools, but we're not jumping either
way at the moment.

"The thought of a new school is lovely
but there are other things we need to
think about, like the impact on the
town and the interim arrangements."
