THE SKY really is the limit for a village school.

St Peter's Church of England Primary School, Brotton, has a new Lottery funded hall, with changing rooms, toilets, community room, office and reception.

Headteacher John Stinson said: "This is a marvellous new facility that will benefit everyone, both in Brotton schools as well as in the community.

"All PE sessions and arts events can now take place in the hall and we'll be able to encourage a whole range of extra curricular sessions every week.''

To celebrate, 310 balloons - one for each pupil - will be released today by Boro star Jonathan Greening.
