Laureate nursery pupils begin enjoying new classroom

The nursery provision at a Newmarket primary school has been expanded to create more places for two year olds.

The youngest pupils at Laureate Community Academy have begun benefiting from a new early years nursery room.

The dedicated space (pictured above) was officially opened prior to the Easter holidays and headteacher David Perkins wanted to thank local councillors who had supported the work through their locality budgets.

Mr Perkins said: “We are delighted to be able to start using the additional room which gives us the capacity for an extra 20 children. We would like to thank our local councillors and also Unity Schools Partnership who both provided funding towards the project.”

Councillors Rachel Hood, Karen Soons, Michael Anderson and Andy Drummond all supported the project through their locality budget.

Two years ago, the school underwent widespread work to its nursery and reception class provision – including expanding teaching spaces and providing a new wet play area.
