Pupils at a Keighley primary school are learning in two new-look classrooms.

Year six rooms at St Anne’s were renovated during the summer holidays.

They have been officially opened – and blessed with holy water – by the school’s parish priest, Canon Michael McCreadie.

Parents joined pupils at the event, where prayers were said and there was a performance from the school choir.

The classrooms, whose renovation was partly funded by the Diocese of Leeds, had been virtually unaltered since their construction more than a century ago.

Headteacher Sam Poulton said: “I am delighted with how the new classrooms have turned out.

“They are part of a long-term vision to make St Anne’s School fully ready for our ‘third millennium’ learners.

“This is phase two in our plans, and I am currently bidding for funding for the next phase, which we expect to cost several hundred thousand pounds.

“We will have many fundraising activities during the next few years to help with this, and any contributions will go straight into the project and – indirectly – the future of the children here at St Anne’s.”

Work during the next stage at the 316-pupil school in North Street will include renovations to the early years foundation and key stage one classrooms.
