On our return to school we discovered that during the holidays, we had intruders on the site who had broken glass and relieved themselves into our large class sized sandpit on our Early Years playground. We were devastated as it is a much loved part of our Early Years play provision and may be the only opportunity some children have to play in the sand this year, after already missing out on so much during lockdown.

At Warstones, one of our core values is community, and the overwhelming level of support we have had from our school community has been fantastic. Offers of help to clear and refill the sandpit have been gratefully received as this is a huge endeavour and the sharing of our post our Facebook has helped to inform our community of the issue of vandalism on school grounds.

We now ask for more of your wonderful support, in helping us to fund the refilling of the sandpit and replace the equipment that was vandalised. This will cost hundreds of pounds which we simply haven’t budgeted for.

Any contribution is so appreciated. We would love to see the sandpit back in action for the Summer term!

Thank you for your support.
