Building Our Playground

Our amazing Penpol Friend’s Association are working hard to raise money for some exciting new outdoor play equipment, and the children have been helping by sharing their fantastic ideas!

Pupils have spent time discussing what they would like to see in our playground and have even brought their ideas to life using Lego and Tinkercad. Their creativity has been amazing, with designs including climbing walls, roundabouts, zip lines and even an aeroplane!

The children’s enthusiasm and imagination have provided plenty of inspiration as we look ahead to improving our outdoor play spaces. A big thank you to everyone supporting the P.F.A.’s fundraising efforts – we can’t wait to see these ideas take shape in the future.

Following the success of the marathon, which raised an amazing £3,800, there is still a long way to go to reach our target of £25,000. If you would like to help us get there, please click the link below and support our fundraising efforts.
