Work is underway on a new primary school in Cringleford.
The new 420 place school is being built on land off Colney Lane, on the edge of Norwich.
It will be a second primary school for the village of Cringleford, which is due to see around 1,300 new homes built.
The new school will be two storeys with car parking for staff and visitors, including electric charging spaces, and external hard and soft surfaced outdoor play areas.
The new building will would have solar panels, passive stack natural ventilation, air source heat pumps and an all-electric kitchen.
The school is due to open in September next year.
It is one of a proposed 26 new schools proposed for the county within the next ten years as part of Norfolk County Council’s £308 million Local Growth and Investment Plan to ensure sufficient places in areas of major planned housing growth.
