SCHOOLHILDREN have been celebrating the reopening of their recently refurbished playground.

Parents, carers, staff and pupils at St Nicolas and St Mary Primary School in Shoreham joined forces to refurbish a castle and adventure trail.

The castle needed to be moved to a new location following recent developments at the school.

Shoreham Port’s corporate social responsibility group provided the money to pay for safety flooring under the castle.

Marketing and communications manager Katie MacAllister said :”The team at St Nicolas and St Mary’s worked so hard on the playground and we were so pleased to be able to help them complete the project.

“Playgrounds are a vital part of school life and it is fantastic to see the flooring laid and the castle being enjoyed by the pupils.”
