BENTHAM Community Primary School will be officially opened next month.

The ceremony — on Friday, February 27 — will be attended by pupils, staff, parents, members of the local community and civic dignitaries.

And there will also be a celebrity guest.

“This is an important and momentous occasion for both Bentham and its wider community,” said headteacher Catherine Boocock.

Work on the £5 million school started in October, 2013, and pupils are due to move in after the February half-term holiday.
