Search the Public Notice PortalChildren at a primary school near Bromyard have moved into a brand-new classroom after the first phase of a major building project was completed.
Brockhampton Primary School's Year 6 pupils are now using the new teaching space, which forms part of a wider redevelopment that will replace an ageing mobile classroom and provide new facilities for children with additional needs.
Staff said pupils at the school, nestled above the town on the Bromyard Downs, were "absolutely thrilled" with the new learning environment after moving into the building this week.
Charlotte Thornley, Year 6 class teacher, said: "Phase 1 of the development has now been completed, and our Year 6 pupils have recently moved into their brand-new classroom.
"They are absolutely thrilled with their new learning environment and have settled in brilliantly."
The new facilities also include a wet room and physiotherapy room, which the school said will help make it more accessible and inclusive for all pupils.

"The building project is desperately needed as the current mobile/temporary building is long overdue for replacement," it added.

The wider development includes a two-classroom block, a small group room, toilets and storage areas, as well as the new hygiene and physiotherapy facilities.
School leaders also said demand for places had been increasing and that the additional facilities would help ensure local children can continue to access high-quality education.
Work is continuing on the next phase of the project, which will provide a second classroom within the new building.
