Primary school pupils can enjoy their books al fresco thanks to a donation from homebuilder Redrow.

Staff and children at Austhorpe Primary School have been busy fundraising for a number of teepees and covered benches for the school’s outdoor reading area.

“It is an engaging space for all our children to enjoy a book in the fresh air and takes them out of the classroom environment. Thank you to the team at Redrow for their very kind donation.”
