THE BISHOP of Ely, architects and builders “flourished hard hats” for the ceremonial first day of work on the city’s latest school.
Construction of St Michael’s Church of England Primary School, in Cardea, Peterborough, officially began on Wednesday as the Right Reverend Stephen Conway turned the first turf of earth in line with tradition.
He said: “All the partners were present, all wreathed in smiles. I was there to dedicate this space and thank God for the abundant lives we know these children will have in the new school.
“I dug the ground with a spade and then posed with the digger, but they didn’t let me loose with the controls.
“It was a great beginning and great to see the building work start.”
The school, which will be attended by 200 pupils, is due to open in September.
