The Bishop visited St Martin’s CE School in West Drayton to officially open this new Church of England primary school.

During the visit, the Bishop met teachers and pupils and blessed the new school building. The Bishop also added his hand print to a mural commemorating the birth of the new school, which features the hand prints of all the staff and pupils who were the first to use the building.

The Bishop was also shown around the school building; a state-of-the-art site that offers modern classrooms, a nursery, large school hall, a modern ICT suite and library, kitchen facilities for school lunches and cookery lessons, music and dance studios, facilities for children with special educational needs and a new multi-use games area. The school offers over 600 places, including 15 for children with additional needs from next September.
