YOUNGSTERS at Treetops School in Grays were visited by Father Christmas today (Friday, 17 December) as the company that is building its new sister school building on an adjacent site donated gifts.

Net Zero Buildings is currently constructing the new building that will cater for up to 160 pupils with special educational needs and supplement the existing school complex.

The Net Zero team on site hosted a Christmas party for some of the younger pupils today and organised Father Christmas to pop in.

We hope you enjoy our video of the build up to the party and the arrival of the man in the red suit bearing gifts!

In the film Net Zero project manager Steve Bates details what the company is doing and why they are so pleased to help Treetops. In addition to the party and gifts, they will be making a donation to a charity that supports the school.
