Learning goes outdoors at Hookstone Chase Primary School
A new play area has opened at Hookstone Chase Primary School in Harrogate.
The new equipment is part of investment the school is making in facilities especially for reception age children.
The school is part of Northern Star Academies Trust, which runs four primary schools in Harrogate.
Constructed from natural timber to reflect the school’s commitment to the environment, the play area gives children a new learning space to get physical and creative - with a water stream, sand play and jungle planters.
A new shelter offers a place to act out plays, have outdoor lessons, or even an alfresco story time.
The play area is the first part of a development plan for the school being led by new headteacher, Joe Cooper, who joined the academy at the start of September.
