Otley school celebrating after donation from housebuilder
A primary school in Otley is celebrating after receiving a donation from a national housebuilder.
Otley Primary has received a £3,000 donation from Persimmon Homes after applying to its Community Champions scheme.
The school say the donation will go towards improving facilities at the school and will make a “real difference”.
Mrs Jessica Sutton, Acting Headteacher said: “We are incredibly grateful to Persimmon Homes for this generous £3,000 donation.
“It will support a range of important areas across school life, including the continued development of our outdoor learning environments.
“This funding will make a real difference to the opportunities and experiences we can offer our children, and we truly value Persimmon’s support for our school community.”
Cllr Eleanor Thomson, Deputy Executive Member, Children and Families at Leeds City Council said: “I am genuinely impressed by how closely the PTA and the school leadership at Otley All Saints C Of E Primary School are working together to improve play opportunities and facilities for the children.
“It’s clear that their shared commitment is making a real difference, and I’m delighted that Persimmon have been so eager to support the project and help make it possible.”
Christopher Hull, Persimmon West Yorkshire Managing Director, said: “It was a pleasure to visit Otley Primary School to meet Mrs Sutton, staff and students.
“At Persimmon, we want to leave a positive impact in communities we build in and it was inspiring to hear about all the plans the school has for its students. We hope this donation goes far in supporting them.”
