Pitsea School opened as a Council school in 1909. Sometime before the 1960s the original frontage was extended. A swimming pool for the infant school was officially opened on Saturday 13th June 1970. The 16ft by 24ft pool was purchased at a cost of £459 and assembled on-site by a group of volunteer parents. Though not as deep as a standard learner pool the headmistress of the time, Mrs Goscombe, was confident the pool could be used to teach water confidence. For many years the school was known as Pitsea County Infant & Junior Schools. From 1st September, 2003 the infant school was renamed The Len Wastell Infant School in honour of the popular long serving school governor who died in 1999. The junior schools' name remains unchanged. Text written 2001 with revisions 2006-2007,2010. Copyright © 2001-2007,2010, Basildon History Online. All rights reserved. |
