Over time, I look forward to seeing it add value to the learning experience of the pupils.''Kevin Taylor, construction manager for Kier Sheffield, said: "The use of innovative features will make the school a modern and incredible place to learn.''Previously split between two sites, infant and junior, pupils and staff are now all together in the new building, together with a new nursery facility.'
