This morning, Mr Hornsey met with two representatives from National Highways who came to see spaces around school that their funding have contributed to.
Previously, Greswold applied for funding from National Highways, who were reimbursing schools for any problems arising from ongoing works on the M42. As Greswold is such a large school with some families travelling significant distances, we were rewarded with a grant of over £7,000 towards regeneration work we were doing in the three outdoor areas between the long corridor and year three classrooms.
The generous funding instigated a large-scale regeneration of the areas mainly funded by the school budget, with help from the PTA. We now have three usable spaces which can be used by all pupils, with one space utilised for SEND provision all year round. Look at for these spaces at the upcoming Parent Consultations in October.
These sorts of funding grants are becoming so valuable to schools nowadays so if any parents are aware of other funding or grant avenues offered by local businesses, please let us know.
