Do you want to join us in making a difference?

We're raising money in aid of Friends of Gorseybrigg Primary School for the second phase of our Playground Improvement Plan and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.


Who Are We?

​ We are a wonderful team of parents, teachers and friends that make up the PTFA at Gorseybrigg Primary School in Dronfield, Derbyshire.

We work tirelessly to raise funds to improve the school equipment and facilities to enhance the education and wellbeing of the children within our school.

We are enthusiastically planning the next phase of our Playground Improvement Plan and hope to raise enough funds to implement this in 2021!

Our Vision

We would like to install new playground equipment within the school grounds to promote our belief that active children create active adults thereby reducing obesity and the need to use vital resources to tackle this issue. The new equipment will allow our children to be active, build confidence and relationships.

We aim to give all the children an equal chance develop their resilience through demanding but achievable physical and mental challenges which the new apparatus will provide. Working together whilst playing will develop their ability to connect with each other and foster these life long skills.

What Will The Funds Be For?

The funds would be used for a sail shade, clamber stack, trapeze swing, climbing wall, net traverse and appropriate safety flooring. These will inspire the children to partake in fitness activities whilst having fun, fostering physical development including coordination, balance, and strength. It will also promote turn taking, teamwork and problem solving as children work together to explore the apparatus.

This is the second phase in our playground development which initially included the implementation of a trim trail mainly for ages 4-7. The new apparatus will be targeted towards the upper age range of 7-11.

The sail shade will allow us to educate the children outside ofthe classroom in varied weathers - a manifesto set by the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom. It will also offer us additional shaded space to keep the children out of the sun during the summer months during outside play. This features will benefit children's social and emotional health in addition to the benefits to physical health afforded by increased access to the outdoors.

Thank you
