AFTER what has seemed like an eternity, the Phoenix in the form of Ipsley Middle School has finally risen from the ashes.

After the problems of the Redditch Review, I am relieved that two communities who fought valiantly for their respective schools have now found a new beginning in a new school.

The opening ceremony was a credit to headteacher Mr Mitchell and his staff, who had worked hard to ensure it all went smoothly.

I am sure the school has the best wishes for its continued success from all the community.
