Our School

Preshute Primary School (www.preshute.wilts.sch.uk) is a small, village primary school in Manton, Marlborough, Wiltshire. We have approx 180 pupils who attend from the ages of 4-11 years old and we have a strong parent/carer community spirit that gets involved and supports the school's fund raising activities.

Our Project

We are very lucky to have outdoor spaces at our school, however we would like to develop these for our children. To support the school's 2021 building redevelopment plans, the PPSA are fundraising in order to be able to redevelop the playground area at the top of the school site, where we want to support the costs of installing play equipment and outdoor resources for the children to use now and in years to come. There are exciting plans for the area including a new multi-sports court, play equipment, play resources and other exciting features. Check out the image of the slide that we are hoping to install something similar in the AstroTurf area!

Why?

It is beneficial for our children's physical and mental health and well-being to have outdoor space and areas to have fun and exercise with their friends. We want to create a fun, interactive area where the children can play and exercise. We hope it will also promote a love of being outdoors and help to develop social and physical skills. By developing the outdoor space and areas, we will be giving our children a playground to be proud of and to enjoy being with their friends. Something they have missed out on massively over the last year.

How?

There are lots of ways to get involved!

1. Simply donate an amount to the campaign to help us raise the £5,000 needed. Please donate what you can to help us hit our target! Every penny helps - £10 would help us pay for much needed play resources for the outside areas, £20 would help us pay towards the new playground markings and equipment, £50 would help us buy some brilliant structural equipment for the playground! Every penny counts!

2. Get involved with your own fundraising! You can link your fundraising page to our campaign and do your own fundraising! From sponsored walks to cake bakes to sponsored runs and read-a-thons, we would love you to get involved and help us to raise the funds together! Send us your photos!

The PPSA

The PPSA stands for Preshute Primary School Association. The current PPSA group started on the 1st September 2020 and consists of a very small group of Preshute Parents, most who work Full Time, but all who are dedicated to advancing the education of OUR children in the school.

The PPSA's focus is to engage in activities, assist in the provision of facilities for education at the school and to develop more extended relationships between the staff, parents and others associated with school

Please get involved and support our project!
