A PRIMARY school is celebrating its achievements after being named as one of the most successful businesses in the county.

Sutton Veny Primary School was runner up in the training and development category of the Wiltshire Business of the Year Awards.

The awards, coordinated by Newsquest Wiltshire, publisher of the Wiltshire Times, were presented on Friday at the Blunsdon House Hotel in Swindon.

Headteacher Christine Folker said: "This will bring to the public's attention what we're doing to invest in our staff. It's especially lovely as we didn't expect to win."

The school has achieved the Investors in People award for the past two years.

The Wiltshire Business of the Year trophy went to solicitors firm Withy King, which employs 180 people at offices in Trowbridge, Swindon, Marlborough and Bath.
