OUTDOOR fun and learning at a Wyre Forest school have been given a lift with a play area makeover and more than £2,000 worth of new equipment.

Families of children at Wolverley Sebright Primary Academy rallied to support PTA fundraising events to kit out the revamped early years and key stage one space.

The school is part of the Severn Academies Educational Trust which organised the work and funded the clearance and new all-weather surface.

Executive headteacher Shelley Reeves-Walters praised the families and PTA for their support with fundraising events, including a sponsored walk, discos, break the rules day, bingo and non-uniform days.

She said: “We are so grateful for their support and the assistance of our partner trust in supporting learning and development opportunities for our youngest children during break times and outdoor provision.”

New equipment on its way to the Franche Road school includes all-weather learning resources to support maths and English skills, STEM equipment to develop scientific and technology understanding and giant outdoor games to develop turn taking, social skills and gross and fine motor skills.
