PUPILS and staff at Winscombe Primary School welcomed in the new school year with a new addition to their school.

The brand new welcome area was designed by architects James and Jonathan Barattini, and features a new reception desk, glass atrium designed to keep the area warm and ventilated and environmentally-conscious low-energy lights.

The area has been decorated in the school colours of blue and white, and will soon have new flooring put down to complete the new additions.
