A NEW fitness suite has been opened at a Worcester school after a sports facility funding boost.
Blessed Edward Oldcorne Catholic College was supported by Active Herefordshire & Worcestershire in the project.
Jon Williams, the Timberdine Avenue school's head of PE, said: "We are absolutely delighted with the new building and equipment which will make a significant increase to the wellbeing of staff and students at the college.
"A huge thank you needs to go to Active Herefordshire & Worcestershire partnership whose open schools facilities funding awarded us nearly £50,000 towards the state-of-the-art cardio and weights equipment/machines that we have been fortunate enough to purchase for our new facility.
"The fitness suite will be open to both staff and students during core PE lessons in addition to designated times outside of lessons.
"The staff and students are all very excited about our new facility."
