Pupils in Yorkshire have been celebrating the completion of their new school building, now home to a new library and dedicated teaching spaces including a music room.
The recently refurbished Trinity All Saints C of E Primary School in Bingley now brings together all year groups under one roof in a bright, updated environment.
MP Anna Dixon attended the launch on November 3, taking part in a tour, assembly, and ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Ms Dixon said: “The school environment is so important for children.
“Pupils at Trinity All Saints now have a well-designed building which can only benefit their learning.
“The school has already achieved external recognition from the Secretary of State for the fantastic job it does helping children from disadvantaged backgrounds to achieve excellence in their education.
“I’m delighted to be here to further endorse their commitment to education for all.

“Congratulations to school staff, the Trust and Diocese for the progress they are making.”
Headteacher Rachel Timms believes the improvements have already made a difference.
Ms Timms said: “It’s fantastic to bring the whole school together in one building.
“Pupils have settled well into the new space and are enjoying what it has to offer.
“I’m delighted to be able to celebrate our new school at this community event.”
During a special showcase morning, families toured the new facilities and took part in interactive lessons such as stop-motion animation, electronics, and Forest School activities in the school’s extensive grounds.
The newly established school choir performed for parents at the celebratory assembly.
The celebrations follow a year of strong academic results for the school, with 77 per cent of Year 6 pupils meeting the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths—well above the national average of 63 per cent.
In individual subjects, 92 per cent of pupils achieved the expected standard in maths, compared to a national average of 75 per cent.
Eighty-seven per cent reached the standard in reading, and 81 per cent in writing, also above national figures.
Trinity All Saints is part of the Collaborative Learning Trust and offers nursery places for children aged three and up.
An Open event is planned on Wednesday, November 11, from 4pm to 6pm, for year-round nursery joiners and children starting school in September 2027.
