Children from an Oxfordshire primary school will enjoy a variety of new activities including music lessons, art classes and outdoor lessons, thanks to the help from a local developer who has donated money towards building an outdoor classroom.

Bletchingdon Primary School has been granted £500 by Places for People, allowing them to enhance the children’s learning experiences by improving their outdoor space.

The school has also received a Covid grant from the Parish Council and also money from fundraising activities from the children and PTA.

The outdoor space will provide a special support area to the classroom and is planned to be used by the teachers to provide both academic and creative lessons.

Caroline Walker, headteacher at Bletchingdon Primary School, said: “We are a small school of 100 pupils and the provision of this building will have such a huge impact on the children’s lives and therefore the wider community families.

“Thank you for your generous donation towards our new learning space. The space will provide a multipurpose area where we can take children who may need extra support either educationally or emotionally - particularly important in these difficult times.

"The new space will provide the school with the flexibility to provide extra provision to really benefit the children, helping to give them the future they deserve.”
