A huge thank you to Houghton Conquest Parish Council and Willow Grove PTA!

A huge thank you to Houghton Conquest Parish Council for their generous community grant funding, which has enabled the school to create a fantastic new outdoor learning area. The school would also like to thank the PTA for their support in helping to make this project a reality.

The new space consists of four wooden sleeper benches, a storytelling chair, and six log chairs, creating an inviting outdoor environment for learning, reading, and group activities.

This area will be used by pupils across the school to extend classroom learning into the outdoors, supporting activities linked to Forest School, science, biology, English, and many other curriculum areas. It will also help foster the school’s commitment to developing a love of reading, providing a space for adult-led storytelling sessions, supervised independent reading during breaktimes, after-school clubs, and collaborative learning opportunities.

A special thank you also goes to Amy’s family from Reception for generously giving their time to help assemble all of the equipment.

This wonderful addition will benefit all pupils and create exciting opportunities for outdoor learning and reading for years to come.
