A school has transformed its playground with the help of a £2,000 grant.

Bodnant Community School, in Prestatyn, was awarded the money by supermarket giant Tesco as part of its Stronger Starts scheme.

The school said it used the cash to kickstart the transformation of its playground with balance beams and an 'herbal section' to 'develop key social and motor skills'.

It also purchased balance bikes to use on mini roads painted onto the playground to allow children to 'practice the rules of the road' and 'improve their motor skills'.

The school said the bikes were previously rented.

Helen Vernon, headteacher of Bodnant Community School, said: "It is lovely to see the learners working together and supporting one another in this area.

"The social interaction is apparent and promoted in this area.

"As a result of this new area, the nursery children now have a playtime every day and use this area with confidence.

"It has let them develop many important skills in social interaction that will serve them for the rest of their lives."

The school said it hopes to add more improvements to the playground.

"It is wonderful to see these young learners enjoying being outside, having numerous opportunities to socially interact, problem solve, be creative and have fun.

"The playteam have made amazing choices in bringing the children’s ideas to life, and this couldn’t have been done without the support and generosity of the town."

Claire de Silva, head of the community at Tesco, said: "I’m so happy that Tesco is able to support initiatives such as the Bodnant Community School’s playground transformation."
