STUDENTS will soon be enjoying state-of-the-art sports facilities as work got under way on a new sports hall.
Builders have started work on phase one of Bassingbourn Village College's development which will include a sports hall, all-weather training pitch and car parking.
The sports centre will also be used by Bassingbourn Primary School and the community.
Head teacher Scott Hudson said: "This is obviously an exciting time and the building of these new facilities creates a range of opportunities not only for students of the college but also for the community."

Mr Hudson said that the college's sporting possibilities would be endless.

Robert Dyke, also of Year 8, said: "It's going to be good."
The second phase of the development will see the conversion of the existing gym and changing rooms.
The college hopes the all-weather training pitch will be completed in time for the new school year and that the sports hall will be completed by Christmas.
