Annington Funds Outdoor Learning For Hounslow Pupils
Annington, the company responsible for refurbishing former MOD homes in the newly regenerated borough of Hounslow in West London, has donated new equipment to Beavers Community Primary School for its Outdoor Play and Learning (OPAL) classes.
Annington’s donation will help Beavers Community Primary School to deliver its OPAL programme, which focuses on enhancing the quality of play opportunities for pupils to improve attitudes, behaviour and development[1]. With this in mind, Annington has provided the school with a donation of £400 to purchase a range of items to facilitate outdoor learning, including litter pickers, wellington boots and outdoor overalls. These supplies will assist in learning outside of the classroom, while also generating a group of environmentally conscious students.
Ms Sarah Smith, Headteacher at Beavers Community Primary School, commented: “Our outdoor play and learning programme has already transformed lunchtimes and we are really excited to be on this journey. The programme helps children develop many essential skills which are key for their education. We were in desperate need of some new resources, so the donation from Annington couldn’t have come at a better time! The pupils, parents and teachers are very grateful for the kit, which will put to great use by children of all ages in the school.”
Stacy Whitehead, Marketing Manager at Annington, added: “Annington is eager to support with any learning in or outside the classroom, particularly on protecting our local environment, which aligns so closely with our own sustainable endeavours. We hope the items purchased for the school can improve the quality of the children’s play opportunities, and subsequently, improve mental and physical health for future generations of Beavers Community pupils.”
