The donation will help extend the school’s existing playground into the surrounding forest area, creating more space for the pupils to enjoy.
Located on Copp Lane, St. Anne’s Copp CE Primary School is close to Avant Homes’ £32m, 115-home Oakview Quarter development.
The school recently completed the first phase of its five-year playground project, which provides pupils with a multi-use games area and equipment, such as a cardio combo and pedal exercise bikes.
Avant Homes’ donation is part of the second phase of the project, which will see the playground extended to create a larger play area.
The playground project is being led by the Friends of St. Anne’s Copp CE Primary School (FOCS), a charity which supports fundraising for the school.
Vicky Maclean, chair at FOCS, said: “We are extremely grateful for the donation from Avant Homes.
“FOCS’ primary focus over the past five years has been improving the outdoor space for the children.
“We aim to raise the remaining £10,500 to extend the playground and implement this larger-scale project, delivering facilities that will generate a positive impact on the children’s emotional, social, physical, and mental growth for many years to come.”
Located off Copp Lane, Oakview Quarter comprises a selection of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes and features 14 of Avant Homes’ house types.
Hannah Orgille, sales and marketing director at Avant Homes, said: “We are very pleased to be able to contribute towards St. Anne’s Copp CE Primary School’s ongoing fundraising for its playground project.
“Once the playground has been extended, the school’s pupils will have even more room to enjoy their new equipment, fostering play and physical activity.
“Helping our local communities is vital to us and this donation is a fantastic example of Avant Homes’ commitment to supporting the Great Eccleston area.”
