Help save our school playground’s Treehouse so our children can enjoy it for years to come.
The Treehouse and Hangout are not just about fun – they’re about fostering creativity, socialising and a love for the outdoors. It’s a place where children can explore and play, and is a much loved part of our playground.
Together lets raise £6,000
Built in 2015, the Treehouse is in need of some love and attention to ensure it remains fun and secure. The PoA are sure the school community can come together to help raise the £6,000 needed for maintenance due to take place in Spring 2025.
Rather than rebuilding the structure, the work will see renovation undertaken to bring it back to its former glory.
Loved by all
Used daily by approx. 250 children in Years 3-6, and by many more during Breakfast Club or after school clubs, the Treehouse is a focal point of our playground.
“The children love to use both these areas,” said Headteacher, Miss Coates. “The Treehouse is a focal point for many games, often those where children challenge themselves to evade ‘capture’ by others. They love to use the different levels, below and amongst the trees, and the interconnecting walkways and steps, slide and tyre wall mean there are many routes around the area. The Hangout is a place for groups of children to sit under cover and they often play pencil and paper or role-play games in there, but its condition has really deteriorated and it badly needs attention to make it a more attractive place to be. The Hangout can also be used as an outdoor classroom when we’re learning outside in less good weather. Fundraising efforts will help restore this use for it.”
Upcoming fundraisers
To raise the necessary funds, the PoA promise an exciting calendar of events for 2024/25 with the first one being an End-of-term Disco in October. As well as events, all funds raised from second-hand uniform, Christmas card sales, Bag2School and other initiatives will go towards reaching our goal! We’ll be sharing reminders about these events through Ping/WhatsApp so you are sure not to miss out!
And finally…
Every contribution, no matter how big or small, will help us reach our goal. And remember – it’s not just financial support that helps, volunteers are also needed at our events to make them a success.
