THE children and staff of Marsh Gibbon CE School threw open the doors of their new classrooms last month ready for the official ribbon cutting by the Rt Revd Alan Wilson, the Bishop of Buckingham. Past staff, governors, village residents and people with connections to the school shared in the festivities.
Previously only accommodating children up to Year 4, pupils had to go to alternative schools for two years.
Two new eco-friendly classrooms were built in a matter of months and the kitchen has been extended.
Julie Hickey, the headteacher, said: "We are delighted with our new classrooms and kitchen, and want to thank everyone for all their hard work and effort which has enabled us to achieve this.
Pupil numbers have gone up nearly 50 per cent since we in itially announced our plans to extend and I am extremely proud of our brilliant school. "
