A £3M music facility has opened at Yarm School.
Pupils are moving the final pieces of equipment into the new building after watching it grow from the foundations over the past year.
Yarm School headmaster David Dunn said: “It’s incredible to see, and most importantly hear, our students performing in our new music school. There’s a real buzz in the building, with practice sessions and performances taking place everywhere you turn.”
The school houses specialist music classrooms, ten instrumental tuition rooms, a drumming suite and a recording studio.
There is also a 140-seat lecture theatre with retractable seating, making it a flexible venue for performances.
The new building sits next to the Grade II-listed Friarage building, linked to the existing school with a three-storey glass stairwell.
