Work has begun on the site of a primary school for Devon's newest town.

Sherford on the outskirts of Plymouth will be home to more than 12,000 people.

Sherford Vale school and eventually nursery will be teaching children from September 2018.

Last month developers released a time lapse video of construction to celebrate a year since work began on the project.

Mrs Tipping, who will be the first Head Teacher for Sherford Vale, said last week she is excited by the project that aims to "build an outstanding school at the heart of the new community".
