Hasland is a suburb in the south-east of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England. Although many local residents refer to it as a village, it expanded greatly during the 20th century and now merges with Chesterfield itself.
[edit] Churches
The Methodist Church was founded in a cottage on Chapel Lane in 1831 and moved to its present site (on Hampton Street) in 1901.
St. Paul's Church is an Anglican church, and was built in 1850 in the south of Hasland. Before this church was built, most people were baptised, married and buried at St. Mary's and All Saints' Church (also an Anglican church) in Chesterfield town centre.
[edit] Schools
There are three schools in Hasland: Hasland Infant School, Hasland Junior School and Hasland Hall Community School. Hasland caters for pupils aged 4-16, meaning that there is no sixth form in Hasland. This forces pupils wishing to go into further education to go elsewhere.
Hasland Infant School is situated on Eyre Street East and opened in 1904. The Infant School has recently added an extra block of buildings, and is now bigger, with a newer nursery part of the school. Hasland Junior School is situated on The Green, and Hasland Hall Community School (the secondary school) is on Broomfield Avenue.
Hasland Junior School was set on two sides of a busy road, but the building of a whole new school is now complete. The new site is now located on the same side of the road as Hasland Hall Community School. This means that all of the school is situated on the same side of the road.
Hasland Hall Community School is situated on Broomfield Avenue. It currently caters for around 880 students. The building of 5 new classrooms has recently been completed. These opened in September 2006, and are currently the languages block for the school.
