North Nibley Primary School welcomed architect and TV presenter George Clarke to open their recently completed eco building by TG Escapes. The school's new Purnell and Jortin rooms will help support their vision to inspire and celebrate learning, achievement, faith and fun while working in partnership with the community to enable and equip each child to “live life to the full” .

Staff at North Nibley are looking forward to using their new building fully to stretch, challenge and support children as needed. We were grateful to be invited along to the opening day and to share in the children's excitement. We hope their building will inspire them long into the future.
