Moorlands school digs new play kit after JCB donation
Children at a Staffordshire Moorlands primary school are celebrating after digger giant JCB pledged £750 for new games equipment.
Youngsters at St Werburgh’s Primary School, Kingsley approached the Rocester-based company after deciding to raise funds for kit to make outdoor summer playtime more fun.
The Holt Lane school children took delivery of kit ranging from hula hoops and skittles to bats and balls, and put it through its paces in the playground.
Year 6 pupil, Tilly, the daughter of JCB Marketing Manager Ann Bracken, and her classmates had the idea of approaching the company. Tilly said: “It was really exciting when all of the equipment which we bought with the donation from JCB arrived in school. Having new equipment has been brilliant as we can play with it before we leave primary school and can also to see so many children across the whole school enjoying it together.”
St Werburgh’s Assistant School Leader Hayley Bloor added: “We are so very proud of the children. They came up with the idea to fund raise and then had some creative discussions about what they would like and what we could aim for. “When we heard that JCB were able to kindly donate £750 for play equipment, we were all thrilled. The children then soon busied themselves planning how best to spend it so all of the pupils across the school would benefit.”
