PUPILS in Warminster are hoping for a bit of extra room when they break for lunch or take gymnastics.

Currently students at Minster Church of England School share a small hall for lunch, lessons, assembly and physical education.

But there are plans to build a new hall costing £250,000, which could open next summer.

Kim Lyne, headteacher, said: "Everyone is very excited, we have about 220 pupils here and are the largest school in the area without a proper hall."

If planning permission is granted work is expected to begin in the autumn.

The school has raised a lot of the money themselves and has funding from the New Opportunities Lottery fund and Wiltshire County Council.
