Pott Shrigley play area opens

Pott Shrigley Church School’s new play area is finally open for adventurers

Mayor of Bollington, Jon Weston, officiated at the opening ceremony of Pott Shrigley Church School Play Area – cutting the ribbon before joining in a tea party to celebrate the official opening of the new wooden-based adventure play area. 

With the play area officially open, children from across the year groups descended upon the bespoke equipment – comprising climbing wall, free climbing and swing zones – and declared it ‘awesome’. 

The groundworks for the project have been funded by a grant from the Chester Diocese with sports premium funding utilized to purchase the play equipment, the total project costing £72,000. 

Headteacher Ms Bromley commented “We’re so excited to have this new, extensive play area – it’s set to provide a real area of interest and self-entertainment for the children in all weathers. The children have enjoyed watching the building works progress but we’re all thrilled that it’s finally open for play.”
