School celebrates opening of new dining hall and kitchen

YOUNGSTERS at St George’s College Junior School in Weybridge celebrated the official opening of their newly refurbished school dining room and kitchen.

The modernisation of the dining facilities has taken more than a year to achieve and the Junior School now boasts a state-of-the-art kitchen and dining room area. 

The facilities will give pupils a chance to congregate in a friendly environment and learn the importance of having a healthy, balanced diet.

The new dining facility has been named The Mulberry Hall after the school’s mulberry trees.

Reputedly planted in the reign of King James I, the mulberry trees can still be found on the front lawn outside the school.

The refurbishment is part of an ongoing programme within the school that has already seen updating of the chapel, nursery, staff room and library facilities.
