Ashley Academy has benefited from a brand new purpose built outdoor area for Early Years pupils.
WISE Academies has invested in the site to allow children to explore, learn and play in an inspirational outdoor environment and provide opportunities for development across all areas of the Early Years curriculum.
Tony Irvine, Headteacher of Ashley Academy welcomed the development which has proved popular with children, parents and staff.
Tony said that “We’ve had significant investment from WISE Academies to create such a wonderful space for the children to learn, play and develop the skills that they need for reception and school life. It is incredible in comparison to what the children used to have but area means that they can thrive and the staff love it.”
“So far, we’ve had really positive feedback from parents and school community as they are proud that the school has invested in their children’s future.
“The teachers can see how we want to take the school forward but it is all for the children to learn and it now puts on a par or more with the best outdoor area in South Shields, which is something that we are really proud of.
“I want to extend the school’s heartfelt thanks to WISE Academies for making this dream become a reality – their commitment to creating exceptional learning environments has truly made a difference for our youngster learners.”
