Caitlin Prior, who applied for the funding on the school’s behalf, said: “We are a slowly growing school on Persimmon’s Forge Wood development.

“Due to our proximity to Gatwick Airport, we face restrictions in our ability to provide natural shelter.

“We are raising money to erect canopies to provide shade to enable more frequent outdoor learning. Thank you so much Persimmon Homes for supporting our cause, this is fantastic news.”
