It was five years ago on Friday that a Norfolk special school moved into its new premises.
And with the school going from strength to strength, it is now aiming to raise cash for a new minibus to take the students away on school trips.
Woodfields School in Sheringham needs to find £15,000 to buy a brand-new minibus that will give children the opportunity to go on residential trips.

The campaign is being launched as the school celebrates its fifth year in the state-of-the-art premises in Sheringham.
