Westlands First School serves children and families who come from a very deprived community. The school site regularly suffers from criminal damage, including smashed bottles in the children's play areas. At Easter this year, bottles were smashed into the bark surfacing in the Reception Class play area. Consequently the bark had to be removed, making the outdoor area unsuitable for children to use. Like many other schools, we do not have the funds to replace the surfacing. Our children, really deserve a bright and engaging outdoor classroom which supports their physical development. Please help our youngest pupils to thrive!
