LESSONS START AT NEW GREAT PARK SCHOOL
15 Oct 2009
Newcastle's newest school has opened its doors to pupils for the first time.
Brunton First School caters for children aged four to nine and is designed to serve the community being created by the Great Park development.
The school includes six state-of-the-art classrooms, two multi-purpose halls, a studio and a food technology room.
It is also surrounded by extensive grounds, including a football pitch, a multi-use games area, a playground and gardens.
Focus Editor James Kenyon said: "The school is a landmark in the development of the Great Park as a new community needs a school at its heart.
"Modern facilities are vitally important to ensure local children make the most of their opportunities."
