[edit] New school build
Stivichall's original building was a hospital in the early 1930s, later turning into a Junior school after the Second World War. In late 2000, Coventry City Council drew plans to rebuild all of the primary schools in Coventry, but planning permission was not immediately granted for work to start on Stivichall Primary. After a period of approximately four years, building commenced on 22 October 2007, and is expected to reach completion in the summer of 2008.
[edit] Houses
The School has four houses:
| House | Colour |
|---|---|
| Ashe | yellow |
| Hood | green |
| Gregory | blue |
| Leigh | red |
There are often tournaments to gain "house points" for each of the four houses. These include football, basketball and netball. On the school's sports day, the whole of Key Stage 2 compete for points; the house winning the most points being awarded the House Shield at the end of the year.
