St Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Gloucester is buzzing with excitement as its pupils enjoy a freshly built play area, a project brought to life through a remarkable partnership between builders and the local community. This new space offers children a safe and stimulating environment to play, learn, and grow together.
The initiative began when the school recognized the need for improved outdoor facilities to support active play and social interaction among students. Local builders generously volunteered their time and expertise, working closely with parents, teachers, and community members to design and construct the play area.
The collaborative effort not only resulted in a fantastic new playground but also strengthened community bonds, highlighting the power of teamwork and shared goals. Pupils are already making the most of the new equipment, which includes climbing frames, swings, and open spaces for group activities.
