Copmanthorpe Primary School has a new spacious classroom through the conversion of a kitchen area.

Year 5 pupils celebrated the opening by performing a special drama for parents.

The classroom was officially opened by Margaret Francis, recently senior primary adviser for the City of York Council. The opening was heralded with a fanfare played by Year 6 pupil Rachel Souch.

Parents then viewed the new classroom and enjoyed tea and cakes provided by the school’s friends group.
