CHILDREN at Bussage Primary School are enjoying an extension to their trim trail play area thanks to the hard work of parents and teachers.

The PTA raised more than £8,500 to extend the existing trim trail and install an all-weather surface.

While the area is fun to use, activities such as a mini climbing wall also help improve balance and agility.

Headteacher Andrew Ferguson, said “This is a fantastic resource and I want to thank the PTA for their hard work in achieving this.

“Like many schools up and down the country, we find finances squeezed each year and we are becoming more and more reliant on the generosity and hard work of our PTA.”

The PTA is now busy raising funds to install an all-weather surface around another play area.

As part of the fundraising, a chilli and quiz night is being held on Monday, October 20 at 7.30pm at the Ram Inn, Bussage.

Tickets are £6. Call the school office on 01453 883205 or just turn up on the night.
