A school will officially open its new state-of-the-art games area tomorrow.

A £185,500 lottery grant helped pay for the floodlit multi-use facility at Holycroft Primary School, Keighley.

Pupils and the wider community will use the games area for a variety of sports, including football, rugby, basketball, netball and cricket practice.

Opening celebrations will include a five-a-side tournament organised by the Bangladeshi Community Association, which is a partner in the scheme.

The official opening will be carried out by Councillor Graham Mitchell, mayor of Keighley.

Bradford Council's education client team provided some of the funding for the new facility.

Councillor Colin Gill, the council's executive member for children's services, said: "This games area is truly an exciting improvement. It provides a fantastic new facility for Holycroft Primary and the opportunity to create a partnership with the wider community."

Holycroft head teacher Andrew Neal said: "Our pupils are keen to get out there and enjoy the play area and the wide variety of sports on offer."
