00:00I'm Matthew van Leeran and I'm the extremely proud principal of Spanground Academy and today is such a special day because here we are opening our dining hall which enables more than 350 additional pupils to sit down at lunchtime, eat their food, enjoy the company of friends and it's also a multi-use space so our post-16 pupils get the opportunity to use it out of break times and also we use it for assemblies.
00:29It ticks so many boxes, we're incredibly grateful to PCC and our friends who have supported us in this endeavour.
00:37Hi, I'm Katie Cole, I'm the cabinet member for Children's Services here in Peterborough. I couldn't be more delighted to be in this beautiful new canteen that's been opened here at Spanground Academy.
00:48Making sure that there's enough spaces in this city for pupils so that they can go to school in their local area is one of my priorities and I'm really glad that Stanground Academy, GAT and Peterborough City Council will be able to work in partnership to ensure that this new dining hall was open swiftly for the start of term.
01:07Just seeing the children's smiley faces is enough for me and the food, pretty good too.
