YOUNG children have got a smart new learning area at their school.

Huddersfield MP Barry Sheerman is seen cutting the ribbon at the new media centre in Birkby Infant and Nursery School.

With him are headteacher Ann Jones and other members of staff.

The refurbished space now also includes a larger library and a computer suite.

Mr Sheerman, chairman of the Commons Education Select Committee, took part in a question-and-answer session with some of the 350 pupils.
