Vodafone
About 40 volunteers from Vodafone Headquarters descended on us for a day of painting and sprucing up. The team worked tirelessly from morning to late afternoon paining all our fencing and wood in the Key Stage 1 and 2 playgrounds. They did an incredible job and the areas now look really lovely and it makes such a difference.

SSE
During the Easter holidays a group of SSE employees came in and transformed the steps at the back of the school, next to the secondary swings. For years these steps had been a problems - being too big to be of any use to anyone. However, not, thanks to SSE, we have a really lovely set of wooden steps that allow our pupils to get up and down the rather slippery back.
Intel
For a while we have had lots of overgrown plants at the back of Beaumaris Class. This has taken away much space in the breakout area. Kindly, Intel showed up and did a day's hard labour removing all the plants (even down to the roots!) and repainted the area to make it look much more appealing.

A lot of bush clearance was needed
The team removed the trees and took them away as well!
Now the painting starts!
The finished area - wonderful!
