A LORD, ladies and gentlemen gathered together to celebrate the formal opening of Floreat Montague Park Primary School earlier this month.

Wokingham Town Mayor Cllr Julian McGheeSumn­er joined other local guests to welcome Lord O’Shaughness­y for the launch event.

Guests were taken on a tour of the new buildings before pupils recited a special poem.

Lord O’Shaughness­y was then joined by two pupils to cut the ribbon and declare the school officially open.

The school takes children from reception age up to Year 6.

Kate Harper-Cole, Headteache­r at Floreat Montague Park Primary School, said: “It was wonderful to showcase our successful school to Lord O’Shaughness­y and many other school stakeholde­rs.

“The pupils at Floreat Montague Park are a true credit to us and their work in the classrooms and during a poetry recital demonstrat­ed the high standards they set for themselves.

“Time was taken on the day to celebrate our many successes including high academic results and our knowledge rich-curriculum and character programme.”

Neil Douglas, Sales Manager at David Wilson Homes Southern, said: “We were delighted to be invited to the grand opening of Floreat Montague Park Primary School and it’s been great to see this educationa­l facility progress.

“As a five-star homebuilde­r we not only care about building high quality properties, but ensuring our developmen­ts are in a convenient location and this school is a key feature.

“Many of our buyers here have children attending the primary school and it’s brilliant for residents to have such exceptiona­l education on their doorstep.”
