WESTBURY Leigh Primary School officially opened its Scrapstore Playpod earlier this week.
The school, on Sandalwood Road, received grants of £10,000 from the Big Lottery and £5,000 from the Westbury Area Board for the interactive pod, which includes materials donated from local businesses and recycled scrap material which can be used safely as toys.
These include cable rolls, bread trays, rope, thick cardboard tubes and old tyres amongst other things.
Headteacher Debbie Grimsey said: “It’s refreshing to see children eager to use their imaginations.
“We are seeing children coming together, regardless of age, to create some amazing role plays from the scrap.”
The school is working alongside Cygents Pre School to ensure as many children as possible benefit from the play opportunities the playpod creates and will be available for other groups in the community to use.
