AND FINALLY Selco revives outdoor space at school
Pupils at a Leeds primary school are ready to further embrace the great outdoors thanks to a donation from a leading builders merchant.
Shakespeare Primary School and Nursery, which has around 700 pupils and is based on Lincoln Road, have been donated materials by the Leeds Roundhay branch of Selco Builders Warehouse.
Julian Gorton, headteacher of Shakespeare Primary School, said: “Outdoor learning is a huge part of the school ethos and philosophy and incorporated into our engaging curriculum wherever we can. “Since we moved to this location five years ago, we have always looked for opportunities to extend
our outdoor learning provision so we are hugely grateful for Selco’s donation of materials which is going to enable us to deliver the den building area we have long since craved. “As we are situated relatively centrally to the city centre in Leeds, there aren’t a huge amount of opportunities for the pupils to engage in woodland den-building type activities outside of school so we are delighted to provide them with the opportunity thanks to Selco.”
