Environmental & Play Facility questionnaire

Dear Parents,

As you may be aware, we have been trying to upgrade the play facilities and develop the school grounds into an eco learning environment for the school and indeed the local community, for some time.

In July '20, members of the PTA and myself, alongside our school user/ community organisations applied for a White Mountain/Ground Works NI funding application. This was to secure funding for our outside play ground and  to update the environmental facilities for the school and  local community usage. This would include activities like developing herb gardens, flower planting, eco -friendly zones etc .

Our application was well developed and met the threshold of the criteria but unfortunately didn’t get over the funding line. The funders suggested that we need evidence of more support from the local community. A very short Google forms questionnaire link is attached and is now live and it will close on Tuesday 20th, to ascertain the level of support for community use of the school grounds outside of school hours etc.. This would involve community groups using the school grounds to enhance the environment and to build up community spirit. Volunteers would be a great asset to the bid.

The second bid will be submitted before 23^rd October.
