It has been an exciting return to school for the reception classes at the academy in Putnoe as a fabulous outdoor activity centre is being put to the test by the youngsters, pictured.

The specialist equipment has been designed to offer the children a range of ‘risky play’ opportunities, many of which will require them to climb, jump or carry their own body weight. School staff and governors made a successful application for local funding with an additional contribution through fundraising by the academy’s Parent Teacher Friends Association.
