Work is continuing on a new £5.6 million primary school in Dorset.

The Twynham Primary School is being built by Morgan Sindall in Christchurch.

The two-form entry primary school will accommodate 150 pupils once completed in Spring 2018.

The single-storey building will feature a traditional masonry brick work exterior including 14 classrooms, a large hall, studio and administrative areas as well as a learning resource zone. In addition, Morgan Sindall will also deliver a multi-use games area, a sports pitch and a wildlife area.

Jon Daines, Area Director at Morgan Sindall, said: "We're so pleased to be celebrating this key milestone at Twynham Primary School. A lot of preparation and hard work has gone into getting the building to this point and once complete, the new school will provide a fantastic centre for the growing number of primary school children in Christchurch.

"We've been working closely with the council to deliver this scheme and look forward to handing over the new school in spring 2018."
