The original building was built in the mid 1950's & was Stowmarket Grammar School until it became Stowmarket High School in the 1970's. I live locally in Stowmarket & attended this school from 1988-1991 & in one sense am sad that these school buildings are being demolished but I understand that there was a lot of asbestos in the buildings as well as old plumbing & electrics & it will cost an absolute fortune to refurbish the existing school buildings so it stands to reason why they are coming down & nice & more up to date school buildings are replacing them.
Simon Sanigar the original building was built in the mid 1950's & used to be a Grammar School before it became the High School in the 1970's. I was not aware there was a school back in 1909 to be honest!

this building looks like it was more built in 1950s/60s , was there a school on site be for with the same name for it to be built in 1909?
