A RIBBLE Valley school is flying the flag for Lancashire after its new day nursery building won a top honour at the national Local Authority Building Control annual awards.

Hodder House, the infant building at St Mary's Hall, Stonyhurst College, was runner-up in the Social Commercial category of the Built in Quality Awards.

The new pre-prep school development, for three-to-seven-year-olds, was nominated by Ribble Valley Council and was the only building in Lancashire to receive an award.
