Participatory Budgeting
Thank-you to all staff, pupils and parents/carers that voted this week our Participatory Budgeting local community project. The Young Leaders of Learning are delighted to announce that the most favourite suggestion and therefore the winning vote for the allocated budget of £1000 (£500 for school and £500 for nursery) is to be spent on equipment/resources to develop some areas within our existing grounds/ playgrounds to enhance learning outdoors. Thank you for your involvement- Jen McCann.
