i. 94 THE HEREFORD TIMES Thursday, January 28, 2016 herefordtimescom Mr Morley with Alex Wright (the oldest) and Jacob Denslow (t ‘4»! FIG he youngest) members of the Burghill Community Academy . Thousands raised to buy play equipment A SERIES of fundraising triumphs have resulted in a very positive out- come at Burghill Community Academy. A wooden fort climbing frame with- in the children’s playground had deteriorated to a point where it was starting to fall apart. Deemed to be no longer safe for use, it was disman- tled in October, 2015, and the rotten wood was used to form part of the local bonfire and fireworks night held at Tillington Court Farm. This left very little for the children to play with in their top playground and so a series of fundraising activi- ties were undertaken to raise the funds to build something new. Parent, teachers and the friends association (PTFA) raised thou— sands of pounds and were able to provide new play equipment for the school. Fundraising events held included car boot sales, discos, bag packing, Christmas and Easter fairs, Easter egg hunts, movie nights and the Crocodile 8 run. On January 15, the whole school, along with teachers and some par- ents, watched the official opening of the trim trail assault course, which is proving to be a real hit with all of the children.
