SUMMER PLAYGROUND PROJECT HAS BEGUN!!!!

We are delighted to announce that Chudleigh Knighton Primary School have been awarded over £32,000 from the Hennock Parish Council Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding. We want to thank everyone involved in helping to make this happen. The funds will be used to improve our Early Years outdoor play provision and create a space which is more accessible and inclusive for all. The current provision is very limited with lots of restrictions including significant barriers to free movement because of multiple tiered levels.

Outdoor Play UK have redesigned the area to improve accessibility, install soft surfacing to allow a wider range of physical activities, and add shelter to encourage play in all weather conditions and support continuous provision throughout the year. Better outdoor play equipment will directly enhance children’s gross motor development, promote physical confidence, and encourage active, healthy lifestyles from an early age, while enhancing the quality of outdoor learning. Children will have access to a sand box, water table and climbing area in phase one, with phase two including a timber trail and rope bridge for the main school.

Thank you to PTFA Chudleigh Knighton and Hennock Parish Council for your support with this project.
