Two Bradford Bulls joined Miss Galaxy UK to open a new sports hall and two state-of-the-art classrooms in Bradford yesterday.

Brackenhill Primary, Great Horton, will have places for 480 pupils by 2015 as a result of increasing the capacity.

The improvements mean that the school community can plan, celebrate and reflect on how they learn.

There was a special school assembly yesterday afternoon to mark the occasion, before winger Elliot Kear and back-row forward James Donaldson helped the beauty queen to cut the ribbon.

Headteacher Helen Metcalf said that the fantastic new facilities marked the beginning of the next phase for Brackenhill Primary as it continued to grow and develop.

“They offer a wonderful venue for both the children and the wider community,” she added.
