A PRIMARY school showed that its new playground was fit for a queen when they held a party to celebrate Her Majesty’s 90th birthday.
Last year Keelham Primary School’s playground was in a sorry state, with existing play equipment reaching the end of its life and few green areas for children to play.
After an appeal in the Telegraph & Argus for local businesses to help the school improve the facility, they were approached by the Leo Group, which runs the nearby company Omega Proteins, who offered a donation to pay for much of the work. Along with donations from other organisations and money raised through school fundraising events, the primary was able to afford its first phase of improvement with a new, resurfaced playground.
The school, near Thornton, made the most of its new playground at a birthday tea party to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday last Friday.
Although the weather wasn’t as warm as they hoped, pupils and staff still enjoyed dressing up for the celebration, creating their own crown and were even joined by a Queen look-alike.
