Meadowbank Primary School to replace outdoor resources

A message from our pupils and staff at Meadowbank. We are absolutely devastated this morning to find out that yesterday, when we kindly opened up our school playground to the Morris Dancers to use as part of the local carnival held on our school field, the whole of our outdoor learning environment was totally trashed. Our KS1 area, our beautiful reception outdoor play area, the lighthouse outdoor provision, and our home huts and conservatory have been devastatingly destroyed. We take great pride in our learning environment at Meadowbank and it is highly regarded by many other professionals as an excellent provision. Only last week we had 25+ visitors (heads and staff from multiple schools across the country) come to school specifically to look at our indoor and outdoor learning environment.

We are completely heartbroken and cannot believe the total lack of respect shown. You can see from the pictures just how bad it is. Many of our resources will need replacing and we have a huge clean up job to do. The number of games, equipment, resources and materials that have been completely trashed is heartbreaking. This equipment has taken years to purchase and we have put so much energy into developing an enticing outdoor environment it is just heartbreaking to see how bad it now looks. Please help us to raise much needed funds to begin the long journey of replenishing these resources. Every penny counts and we are so thankful for your support.

Love

The Meadowbank School Family
