We have some really exciting plans for our new Early Years outdoor area here at Alder Tree Primary.

We are proud to be a ‘learning through play’ school as we believe that learning through play is important in helping to nurture children’s imagination and develop key skills such as problem solving and teamwork. We are therefore designing our new outdoor space to support, nurture and inspire your children. 

This is a hugely exciting time for Alder Tree and, in addition to the developments outlined above, we have many more to share with you, such as: 

• We have replaced all the windows and doors to the rear of the school to improve energy efficiency. 
• The tiled roofs have been repaired and we are currently replacing the flat roofs with improved insulation. 
• A new community hub for parent events and our after-school club has been built. 
• We have created a new staff car park to remove cars from the neighbouring streets to create a safer walk to school for children and parents and to ease traffic congestion for our neighbours on Potternewton Mount. 
• A large number of classrooms have been refurbished with new carpets, lights, ceilings and been painted and we aim to have all remaining rooms completed before September 2022. 
• We have installed new security fencing to safeguard our students. 
• We are installing a new daily mile running track on our rear playing field.
