The new £3.85million school includes a seven class primary school and single nursery unit.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Minister said: “A new building marks a new chapter in the history of a school and brings tangible improvements to daily life, not just for pupils and staff but also for families and the wider community.”

The newly built school and nursery unit was handed over on 16 July 2020.

Marking the achievements of all involved in the project, the Minister continued: “I want to acknowledge the efforts of everyone involved in the delivery of the new build, including the school staff, Governors, consultants, contractors and officials and offer my best wishes for the future.”
