A school has transformed its playground thanks to a £2,000 grant.

Bodnant Community School in Prestatyn received the money from Tesco's Stronger Starts scheme.

The school originally formed a 'playteam' focused on listening to the thoughts and feelings of the learners.

The school applied for the Tesco grant and was awarded £2,000 to make the dream a reality.

The grant has also allowed the school to buy balance bikes for the children, instead of having to rent them.

The playteam changes the balance beam setups daily, allowing learners to continuously challenge themselves with new courses and encouraging active problem-solving.

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

"It is lovely to watch them support one another, playing nicely and cooperatively."

The grant will enable the school to introduce additional enhancements, reshape the playground and add balance beams along with a herb garden, where pupils can develop social and motor skills while exploring their green thumbs.

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

"The school has been here for many years, and it is an honour to be able to support such a pillar in the community."
