About

In 2004, the Municipality of Waterland decided to combine the new construction of schools with other functions. In this way, good, easily accessible facilities for children, parents and the neighbourhood as a whole can be offered in one place, with the school at its heart. The new school building houses the two old primary schools: Sint Sebastianusschool and Van Randwijkschool.

René Hilhorst, a pupil at Van Randwijkschool, came up with the name De Grote Grutto, which was selected from dozens of entries by a jury.
