This is the look of education for the millennium.

Thirty-year-old Barstable School is preparing for the huge event with a new state-of-the-art building to add to its technology block.

The new site is almost ready to be revealed to the public and members of the Timberlog Lane school.

Lessons including English, drama, maths, arts and languages will be taught in Barstable 2000.

An exciting atmosphere is being created with the opening of the block along with the thousands of pounds of improvements to the school.

A spokesman said: "Teachers and staff are beginning to feel the quality of an environment which is guaranteed to generate quality learning and high achievement towards the school's most important assets, its pupils."

The model of the new layout is meant to give all interested groups the chance to see in three dimensions the arrangement of buildings and facilities available in the near future.
