Boringdon Primary School
Children celebrating their success in the sponsored bounce
The children of Boringdon Primary School have bounced their way into summer with a sponsored jump to raise money for new outdoor gym equipment.
The sponsored activity, held on Friday 22 July, required the children to jump continuously for two minutes - surprisingly challenging!
John Secker, Deputy Head of Boringdon Primary School, said: "We have spent a lot of time drawing up plans to develop our outside space recently, and are really pleased to have the new gym equipment arriving in the first half term of the 2022/23 academic year.
"Funding for such things is often very limited, so the Friends of Boringdon stepped in to arrange a sponsored bounce for the children on their last day of term.
"The children have had a wonderful time taking part and have each been rewarded with a certificate, a sticker and an ice pole to cool down! It has really brought our community together and been a lovely way to end the academic year."
The sponsored bounce has raised over £1,500 for the new equipment, which will encourage a new kind of active play for the students when it arrives in October.
Boringdon Primary School will be holding open days for prospective new students (Sept 2023 intake) in the Autumn. Please contact the school in September if you would like further details.
