WORKERS from a bathroom company have made a splash by helping transform an outdoor play area at a Lichfield school.
The project began in 2023 when hib asked staff to nominate local organisations to support.
Among them was Rocklands School – and plans were soon drawn up to give the outdoor space a makeover.
Work was carried out in two phases, with an initial upgrade of fencing followed by play enhancements including a life-size Minion made from recycled tyres, new sensory boards and a nature kitchen.
Charla Hodgkins, the company’s inventory manager, said:
“The children now have a safe and vibrant place to explore and enjoy during breaks.
“We’re very proud to have worked with Rocklands School on this project and I hope the improvements will be enjoyed for years to come.”
Jane Mackin, headteacher at Rocklands School, added:
“We are truly grateful for the generosity and hard work. The new fencing will give our pupils a safe place to play and learn, while the creative additions have made the space fun and inspiring.
“This kind of support means so much to our school community.”
