The school, which was rebuilt after it was destroyed by a fire in 2020, welcomed pupils back this week.
The project was designed by Concertus Property and Design Consultants and completed by Ashe Construction. The new school includes six new classrooms, a main hall, group rooms, and a special educational needs support space. The building is also fitted with solar panels.

Derbyshire Council's Cabinet Member for Education, Councillor Alex Dale, said: "It's great to see the new school building completed. The fire was devastating to the entire school and the wider local community and it’s fantastic that pupils have been able to start the new term in their new permanent school building.
"Schools are at the heart of local communities, and we've worked hard to deliver the new building as quickly as possible. I know staff and pupils have been looking forward to moving into the new space and it marks an exciting chapter for the school after a difficult few years. I look forward to visiting and hope the school and wider Long Eaton community enjoy this new space for many years to come."
