PUPILS, staff, parents and members of the local community were all delighted to welcome The Prime Minister to Great Rollright Primary School on Friday 3 July.

David Cameron was there to open a new community room recently completed and funded entirely by the school.

The new room is a classroom during the school day and then available as a community resource at other times.

Anne Hewett, co-headteacher, commented: "We were delighted to welcome Mr Cameron.

We are very proud of the way in which the whole school community has supported our fundraising efforts.

The local village community have also been very generous.

We needed a full size fourth teaching area and sadly there was no external funding available.

We waited for two years before we decided we must raise the money ourselves.

We are thrilled with the new room - it is so much larger and is really light and airy."After greeting the two head teachers, Mr Cameron visited all the children in their classrooms before moving outside to cut the ribbon and officially open the new building.

He commented that the ideas of 'The Big Society' were reflected in the way the school and the local community has worked so successfully together.
