Mrs Andrea Sharkey, Headmistress comments as follows:

“On behalf of all of us at The Grove Infants, I would like to say a huge thank you for your generous contribution towards our new equipment. This play trail gives our children the opportunity to climb, balance play, develop their gross motor skills and coordination, whilst enjoying outdoor learning—an essential part of their development. We are truly grateful for helping us create a space where our infant children can learn and thrive.”
