A forest school for all seasons at Tangmere Primary Academy

Tangmere Primary Academy's forest school area was a much-loved space, but only usable in good weather. This limited outdoor learning, with staff and pupils wishing for more.

Clarion Futures Communities recognised the need, funding a £3,000 shelter kit. The school’s site manager, Mr. Shawcross, built the shelter gradually, completing it over the summer holidays.

Celebrating the transformation

The shelter was officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by Jane Cox, our Regional Director of Housing (South), joined by Mr. Shawcross, teachers, children, parents, and Clarion colleagues Jane Haskins, Rhys Pask, and Beverly Clear.
