Alma Primary School in north London has moved into its permanent new home - a former police station in Whetstone.
After three years in temporary premises, the cross-communal free school now has a place of its own.
The site was bought and mainly funded by the Department for Education with a further £150,000 raised from trusts and foundations.
The additional money has helped to create seven extra classrooms, a library and an outside learning area as well as introduce technology such as built-in audio systems to support children with hearing impairment.
