Volunteers for Haslingfield School Outdoor Redevelopment project

Haslingfield Endowed Primary School has secured funding for the Outdoor Learning Space Redevelopment Project for the Early Years area.

This ambitious plan encourages early learning; promoting outdoor learning opportunities, physical and mental development, imaginative and creative play, language and interpersonal skills.

Thanks go to the Parish Council, Haslingfield United Charities and the PTFA for their generous funding allowing Phase 1 of the works to begin in early June. Ahead of this, a significant amount of preparatory work needs to be carried out by volunteers to remove existing structures and improve what can be reused. We’re hoping this work can take place over the Easter holidays (1st-16th April). Read more
