Reception Grassy Area - May 2022

 

As you may have seen, the area that backs onto the Reception playground has now been turfed and the willow reading den is also ready for the children to use when they can access this part of the playground. We are hoping this will be after May half term when the turf has started to grow. With the KS1 adventure play area complete and just waiting for the turf to grow and the MUGAs nearing completion which will also enable Nursery to make full use of their extended playground. We will very soon have much-enhanced school grounds which will be fantastic for the children and really add to their experience of school life at Olton. 

 

 

                    

 

 

 

 

KS1 Adventure Play Area - May 2022

 

You can see below that the trim trail area on the KS1 playground has now been turfed and we are in the process of fencing off the tree areas. We will need a few weeks for the turf to begin to grow and so we are hopeful that after half term this area will be available for the children to use. At lunchtime, as Reception children and KS1 children are not on the playground together, this will provide an opportunity for the Reception children to use it too.

Multi-Use Games Areas  - April 2022

 

MUGA - 29.4.22     Update - You can see that one of the MUGAs is very nearly complete and is looking fantastic. Staff and children are very much looking forward to being able to use these areas for PE lessons as well as at lunchtimes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

29.4.22

 

As you will see from the photographs below, the two MUGAs (Multi Use Games Areas) are coming along really well and will be ready for use soon after we return after Easter. The first photo shows what will be the 3G pitch – it’s just missing the grass at the moment(!) and the second picture is showing the area on the far side which will have asphalt laid to give us two different areas with different surfaces to use for a range of activities in school.

 

 

As the MUGAs are close to the KS2 playground, the children have been watching the development for the last few months and are very excited to be able to use them soon. The MUGAs will also be excellent facilities which in future can be hired out, outside of the school day, to also benefit our wider community. 

MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) Update - January 2022

 

As you will be aware, the final stage of our new build project is the MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) which will be situated on the top field near to the KS2 playground. This will be a fabulous area which can be used for PE lessons, after-school clubs and at lunchtime. Completion is due at Easter and so we will update you with the progress of the MUGA in the coming months.

This is the last new-build weekly update as we will soon be calling it our new home after months of seeing it progress brick by brick. After so much planning and then seeing it built in front of our eyes, it is amazing to think we will soon be moving in. It is a really exciting time for the staff and we know the children will love it too when they step inside.

Olton Primary School Feasibility Study – February 2019

As you are aware, the school is now operating as a split site, with the Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 children on the Daylesford campus and the Key Stage 2 children on the Chapel Fields site. Whilst the school leadership have set about delivery of the new primary ethos and are working across a split site offer presently, at the time of establishing the primary school, in 2018, the intention was to consider the possibilities around consolidating as one school, on one site.

 

Here are preliminary drawings of the proposal to expand the Chapel Fields campus. Essentially, the focus is the construction of a new early years block, complimented by internal works to the existing junior building, to accommodate an increased pupil cohort.
