A TRIO of head teachers turned out to see the opening of a £5.5 million school building project in York.
Huntington School's former head teacher Keith Wragg joined the departing head Chris Bridge, and the new head John Tomsett at the opening of the new school building.
The school, which teaches 1,510 youngsters, has long campaigned to replace 30-year-old rotting mobile classrooms, whose state was branded "scandalous" by Mr Bridge.
The new block houses a performing arts studio, teaching classrooms and music rooms, as well as a youth centre. The school had the task of raising £800,000, which it achieved by storing up cash from previous years' budgets, and also through fundraising activities.
In addition, they secured £2.6 million in Government funding to replace the rotting classrooms, while City of York Council provided £1.5 million.
