Earlier this month, we welcomed the building of a new climbing frame, activity blocks complete with tunnel and ramp, large sand pit and playground markings, along with AstroTurf safety matting. Designed for the children in its Early Years and Key Stage 1 classes to use daily, the new equipment was chosen to help build up core strength and allow greater physical play at break and lunch times.

Commenting on the new playground, Mrs Applebee, our newly appointed headteacher said, "We are thrilled with this new equipment for our Early Years and KS1 children to use. The school already has extensive outdoor grounds including a sensory garden, fully sustainable outdoor classroom and a forest school area. This is a wonderful addition to our outdoor spaces, and I know that it will bring our children a lot of joy in the coming years."

 “There is lots of research to show how children with good core strength make better learners over time. They are able to sit for longer and concentrate just that little bit more, so by having this kind of equipment at school, we can really support our children’s physical development alongside their education – making them happier and healthier learners, which is just fantastic. We are incredibly grateful to the charity for all their help and support.”
