Flood in Eastbourne

The learning centre under water

 

This summer has been hot and dry but on 7th August the weather changed suddenly.  At 1.00 pm there was a heavy storm.  In thirty minutes we had 25% of the total average annual rainfall – that’s a lot of water.

At the back of the school there was a sudden flood and water went quickly into the Learning Centre.  Soon the whole of the Learning Centre was under 25cm of water.

All the computers were destroyed and the carpets badly damaged.  Luckily, we have good insurance and we were able to replace everything we had lost.

We have now installed new computers.  New carpets were laid on 18th and 19th October.
