Housebuilder helps fund mud kitchen at new school in Fradley
Housebuilder Bellway has donated £895 to a new primary school in Fradley, contributing towards the cost of creating an outdoor mud kitchen.
Fradley Park Primary and Nursery School, which opened to nursery and reception-age children in September, lies off Halifax Avenue, just a short walk from the new homes at Bellway’s Sheasby Park development.
Sheasby Park forms part of a new residential neighbourhood on part of the former RAF Lichfield site. The wider project has also provided the land for the new school, which will eventually cater for 210 primary pupils up to the age of 11.
Chrissie Allen, Headteacher of Fradley Park Primary and Nursery School, said: “We are extremely grateful for Bellway’s generous contribution to our Early Years outside provision. The children will love using the equipment to bake their mud pies and they will get so much pleasure from watching the birds flying in for their snacks.
“We also got to visit Sheasby Park earlier in December for their new showhome launch and the children enjoyed cutting the ribbon and receiving their goodie bags.
“The children of Fradley Park Primary are watching over the construction of the new homes, from their classrooms with great interest. The growth of the area around our school is a daily reminder of how important community is and how fortunate we are to be at the centre of it.
“We very much look forward to welcoming the families through our doors in the coming years and supporting them in making this area of Fradley home.
“Bellway have been keen from the start to support the development of our wonderful school, and it’s great to be able to work together for the benefit of the whole Fradley community”.
Bellway is delivering more than 600 new homes at Sheasby Park. Construction started in 2016 and since then, approximately 350 new homes have been completed.
The development, which is located alongside a stretch of the Coventry Canal, has also seen the creation of new public open space and footpaths.
Marie Richards, Sales Director at Bellway West Midlands, said: “The opening of a new school at Fradley Park is a significant milestone in the development of this already well-established new community.
“We’ve been building new homes at Sheasby Park now for the past five years, so are therefore pleased to be helping to fund the cost of the school’s mud kitchen project, which will provide a fun and interactive learning space for the new pupils.
“We hope that our donation will have a positive impact on the children’s education for many years to come.”
