The donation will be used to replace the school’s old outside trail, so more pupils can enjoy outdoor learning and play.

Megan Howdle, chairman of the Friends, said: “Thank you to the Morrisons Foundation for their amazing generosity in awarding us this grant.

“We will finally be able to replace our old and dilapidated play trail, which will make a real difference to our children.”
