Buckingham Primary School has transformed an out-of-bounds site into a new play area thanks to Tesco shoppers.

Shoppers voted for the £1,500 grant to be awarded to the school as part of Tesco’s Stronger Starts campaign. This initiative is an £8 million grants programme in partnership with the charity Groundwork UK.

Susan Fish, chair of the PTA at Buckingham Primary School, said: "The Tesco Stronger Starts initiative has once again been a huge support to Buckingham Primary School, contributing significantly to replacing the outdoor play equipment.

"This project means an area that was off limits due to safety reasons can now be used again by the pupils, and in a better way than it's ever been used before.

"This will completely change how the outdoor play area is used by the children at the school, providing opportunities for creative play outside of simply playing on the playground.

"This has been an ongoing goal for the PTA for some time and we are so grateful to Tesco, Groundwork, and the people of Buckingham for helping us achieve this goal.

"We are so excited to have this project completed, and the positive impact will be felt for many years to come."
