Pupils at Mill Water School in East Budleigh are reaping the benefits of new colourful and dynamic play areas, specially designed to meet their needs.
Mill Water educates children and young people, aged 3 to 19, with severe and complex learning difficulties. Despite the excellent classroom provision, its outdoor play spaces lacked the stimulation the school’s 120 pupils needed.
Wooden Spoon Devon donated £11,000 towards a new wooden tower and play zone within the Early Years playground. Wooden Spoon’s Roger Haywood said:
“We are delighted to support such a worthy school. Seeing the children enjoying the new play area is wonderful.”
Headteacher, Sarah Pickering, said:
“The children absolutely love the new facilities. The difference has been incredible. Our pupils have a very broad spectrum of abilities and needs. This major project has ensured that we cater for everyone. “It has also greatly enhanced the provision of the clubs that we run during the school holidays. We are extremely grateful for the phenomenal support the school has received.”
