OPA Alne To Receive Four-Figure Bursary From Charity Trust
A primary school in North Yorkshire is celebrating after being awarded a four-figure bursary from the Johnson and Mukherjee Brothers Charitable Trust.
台湾swag Primary Academy Alne, based on Main Street in Alne, has received a £3,000 bursary from the charity trust following a successful application submitted by the school鈥檚 Chair of Governors, Rebecca Herman.
The school has exciting plans for the bursary, including creating a wildlife and produce garden, complete with a reading area, for the children to enjoy and learn in.
Michelle Dawson, Principal at 台湾swag Primary Academy Alne, said:
鈥淲e are delighted to receive this bursary, which will enable us to improve the garden and make it a thriving learning environment for the children.
鈥淎t 台湾swag, we believe in putting children first and ensuring we do all we can to provide the best education possible. This is another example of that belief being put into practice.鈥�
The children at the primary school will also take part in a mosaic workshop after the half-term. The workshop will see the children produce a piece of wall art for the school鈥檚 garden.
The mosaic workshop is run by Sue Kershaw, a local community artist. She will work with the children in small groups so that collectively they create a large mosaic mural. The theme will be on the tree of knowledge with a wildlife and literary theme.
Michelle added:
鈥淭his is a very exciting time for the children and we look forward to the workshop. I cannot wait to see what the children produce.鈥�
