Children sang and danced for One show co-host Christine Bleakley and special guests for the launch of the new £72000 learning centre.
Christine Bleakley said: "I work in a creative industry, and I know learning and inspiration can come in many forms. I'm delighted to be here to see how this is working in practice at Hathaway and to witness the school ensuring that learning is stimulating, innovative and - most of all - fun."
The launch event was attended by MP Steve Pound and the pupils gave a presentation on the new International Primary Curriculum (IPC) where children learn through discovery rather standard textbook teaching methods.
Sarah Wilson, headteacher of Hathaway Primary School said: "Creativity is fundamental to what we do at Hathaway and we've made this significant investment to be able to further support the passion for learning that we encourage in our pupils."

Year 6 Pupils leave a creative Legacy at Hathaway School with a Transition Project Mosaic
Year 6 pupils from Hathaway School have ensured they will be remembered for years to come by creating an original mosaic which was officially opened by Ealing North MP Steve Pound last week. Taking the extensive school grounds and the natural environment as their inspiration, the pupils worked with mosaic artist Sue Noble to design and make the mosaic, which greets visitors to the school in the reception area. Head teacher Sarah Wilson is very proud of the results of the project:
“We’ve just introduced the new International Primary Curriculum in the school, which allows pupils to really tap into their creativity as they learn. Projects like this mosaic show that the results can be innovative and inspirational. It’s a legacy for the school, and an idea which we hope to continue with our Year 6 pupils for years to come.”
