THE ribbon has been cut on a Lichfield school’s revamped library.

Scotch Orchard has been refurbishing the facility since Christmas to create a new space to help children develop a love of reading.

School staff worked over half-term in order to get the library ready and have already begun using the space to teach pupils.

They invited Lichfield MP Dave Robertson to cut the ribbon.

He said:

> “The new library looks fantastic. I really appreciate acting deputy headteacher James Chapman getting in touch and asking me to open it.  
>  
> “It was great to take questions from children at the school. They were keen to know what it’s like to be an MP and asked what my favourite book was.   
>  
> “I also got chance to chat to Mr Chapman, who was excited about the school’s future and committed to delivering a first-class education for every child at Scotch Orchard.”

Mr Chapman said:

> “It was with great pleasure that we welcomed Dave into school to cut the ribbon of our new library.  
>  
> “He was wonderful with the children, showing great kindness, humour and patience when answering their questions and speaking with them in assembly.   
>  
> “It was clear just how passionate he is about supporting local schools and I would love to work with him again in the future.  
>  
> “It is my aim to foster a love of reading at Scotch Orchard Primary School and this aim is shared with my wonderful staff, who gave up their own time – and artistic talents – to help create this wonderful space during their half-term.  
>  
> “I am so excited about the future at Scotch Orchard Primary School, which will continue to place reading at its heart.”
