School Improvement January 2016 In April of last session we conducted a survey on the impact of school improvement, the responses to which were shared by letter dated 29th April 2015. Of these responses, ten parents suggested there was something they would like to see included in future improvements, and of these five were about the playground. Pupils too highlighted the playground as an area that they would like to see improved. As a result, this is something that we have focused on. IMPROVEMENTS IN THE PLAYGROUND 2015 WHAT WE HAVE DONE… PLANS FOR THE FUTURE We plan to put a path in leading around and under the arch to the chin up bars. This will create a little more space when the grass is out of bounds and also give the children a flowing area to play on. Money for this has been raised by the Parent Council and a quote has been accepted so we are now awaiting an installation date During the spring, we hope to set up a gardening group to plant and care for a variety of plants. This group would run one day a week over the lunchbreak. I am looking for volunteers to come and run this group with Mrs Bain. If you would like to volunteer please contact the school office Fundraise for a Buddy Bench that children can use if they have no-one to play with Start a lunchtime club for older children If you have any other ideas for improving the children’s experience in the playground, please let us know.
