BUILDING work has begun on an environmentally friendly new primary school in Hadleigh.
Suffolk education authority said work was on schedule and the school was expected to be ready in time for the start of the new academic year in September.
The school is being built on land at a former Ministry of Defence ammunition store in Aldham Road, which has also been developed for housing for personnel from Wattisham airbase and for local people.
The school will initially take 150 children, but will eventually be able to cater for up to 210 pupils.

It will be built with materials from sustainable sources, with a timber frame and timber-clad walls.
