New school wins praise for 'light and airy' design

LES Beaucamps School opened its doors to the public for the first time on Saturday, much to the delight of many islanders.

Hundreds of people turned out to take a look around the new building, which students moved into in September.

Many visitors were impressed by the design of the four-floor building and surprised by the layout.

Nicola Roussel, 36, visited the school with her 11-year-old daughter, Emily.

She had attended the former Les Beaucamps as a teenager.

'It's absolutely amazing – it's much more modern than the old one,' she said.
