HAVING a new woodland area at Leckhampton Primary School has gone down well with its new arrivals.
Sixty pupils have joined the Cheltenham school, with 30 each going into its two reception classes.
And headteacher Samantha Porter said the creation this summer of a new woodland area had been given the thumbs up by the children.
They told staff that using the area, and particularly its bridge, had been one of the things they had enjoyed most at the school.
Every effort had been made to make the pupils settle in and Miss Porter added: "As part of welcoming them and their families, we held our reception welcome service at St Peter's Church when representatives from all parts of school life shared their hopes and wishes for the children and their time here at Leckhampton."
