An application to Department for Infrastructure Living Places and Spaces Fund was submitted by a subgroup of the PTA in December 2021. We were informed we had been granted £4,393 in March 2022.
The Project Implementation Group includes parents and staff from St Bernard's Primary school, along with representatives from St Bernard's Preschool education centre, 110th St. Bernadette's Scouts and St Bernadette's Parish.
The first exciting step began on Wednesday 13 April with the construction of the Willow Tunnel and Dome.
The project outline is as follows:
The additional funding application for the creation of an outdoor classroom and bike shed was unsuccessful.
There will be regular calls for volunteers - keep an eye on webpage, Facebook and class WhatsApp groups.
Funding grant was on a very tight budget with full costings required for each element. Therefore, the help of parents and friends is vital.
