Many of the outdoor play facilities at Haslingfield Primary School are in disrepair, this is of particular concern given the emphasis on outdoor activity in the new Physical Education curriculum. As Government funding for Cambridgeshire schools is notoriously low the PTFA is working with Ms. Peck (Leading Senior Teacher and PE Coordinator) to raise money for a new outdoor play facility called a Play Trail. This will have two components, a traverse wall and a wooden obstacle course. See images and more details on how you can help by clicking on ‘Read More’ below:
The total cost of this facility is £10,200. Central government funding will cover £2,200, while dedicated PTFA fundraising has raised £5,500 (£2,500 private donation + £2,000 from Eltek Ltd + £1,000 from the CEMEX community fund). Therefore we still need £2,500 for the project to go ahead. We would like to appeal to any individuals or local businesses for donations to this cause. Donations from individuals will benefit from Gift Aid and there are tax benefits for businesses making donations. This facility will be of great benefit to the present and future children at our village school. Please email ptfahaslingfield@gmail.com for more details.
