HOLSWORTHY Primary School's new Foundation Stage Unit building was officially declared open by Chairman of Devon County Council, Cllr Christine Marsh on Wednesday, March 16.

The need for a new building to replace the 30-year-old Nursery Unit and to accommodate the nursery and Year R children in an expanding school was identified in early 2007.

An initial design brief was then drawn up which sited the new FSU adjoining the proposed new children's centre on an undeveloped part of the existing primary school grounds.
