Work's started on a major expansion of a primary school in East Suffolk.

Construction's underway at the Holton St Peter Primary to create a new standalone nursery building for around 30 two and three year olds.

It's part of a £6.3m expansion of school and leisure facilities across the district.

"Our local children deserve the best"

Christine Starkl, Headteacher at Holton St Peter Primary School, said: “I am over the moon to be able to soon offer a high standard facility that will give the young children of Holton and Halesworth a fantastic start to life.

"Holton St Peter School currently has a very small number of nursery children; these children are excited to be housed in a new building.

"Our local children deserve the best that our small school and village can offer so I am pleased that work is finally progressing on site”.

The new facilities will include an office, a quiet room, a kitchen, and a classroom which will lead to additional outdoor learning space.

Work's due to finish later this year.
