Kenilworth primary school delighted with new playground

Staff and pupils at a primary school in Kenilworth are delighted with their new playground.

Two years ago, the team at Priors Field Primary School, which is in Clinton Lane, had a vision; to address the unsafe and ageing play equipment.

This created an opportunity for the school team to work with the whole school community to re-imagine the outdoor space.

During the summer holidays the team prepared for the installation of the new playground and it was officially opened last week.

It features a castle, tunnels, a train and boat and promotes sensory play.

Katie Gane, headteacher, said: "I am thrilled to see the children loving their playtime and being physically active, a crucial component to a young person’s development in our world today."

The design and installation of the new playground was done by Sovereign Playgrounds and organised and led by a working party made up of school parents and governors.

The school team said they were also grateful to receive funding from the William Edwards Trustees and the Priors Field PTA, including some generous donations.

Katie added: "We are so pleased with the result.

"This is a great achievement of the whole school community working together."
