Each classroom will have access to this area, so it will really help our children learn and grow.

After 12 years, it has become unsuitable due to wear and tear and as we are a Charity Pre-School, having been running now for 54 years, we are very grateful for the support we receive from the local community and from Jempson’s to enable this project to proceed.” Tracy Dixon, Battle Pre-School

The Jempson Foundation are delighted to make a donation to the Wittersham School Association.

“This was a request from the children on the School Council who asked if a bird hide, binoculars and other learning resources could be purchased for the Wildlife Garden here at the School. Lockdown saw many children become interested in birdwatching and we use this space during lunchtimes and Wildlife Club. It is really good to have the support of Jempson’s, it means a lot to the children to know that the wider community are taking an interest in their wellbeing and development – they feel heard and valued” Claire, Headteacher
