About Maple Infants' School, Surbiton
|
Maple Infants’ School is situated in Surbiton, Surrey and is part of the St Mark’s ward in the Royal Borough of Kingston-upon-Thames.
We are an infants school with a nursery and cater for children between the ages of 3 and 7 years. The school is situated in the centre of Surbiton, midway between the main line railway station (Waterloo – 16 minutes) and the River Thames. Historic Setting Originally the local infants and junior school was sited in St Andrew’s Road. This was an old Victorian building. In 1972 the church, in conjunction with the borough, purchased the land in Maple Road (an old industrial site) to build a new junior school St Andrew’s & St Mark’s C of E School. In 1973 Maple Infants’ School was completed. Maple, however is not a church aided school. It is a community school. Both schools are on the same site. |
