Bartlett Tree Experts, of Cross Lanes, sent a team of workers to clear the grounds at Crockerne Primary School, and spent a day pruning trees and creating a woodland walk.

The firm also sponsored sports kit for pupils in years five and six, while manager Chris Gill has launched a new after-school gardening club for children.

Siniat, based in Marsh Lane, has bought the school a new climbing frame, which has been brightly painted by neighbouring Red Engineering Ltd.

And SUZ Designs, located in Martcombe Road, has sponsored pupil’s sporting hoodies.

* Crockerne has earmarked 2014 as a year to improve the school’s grounds, and is appealing for further community sponsorship. Can you help? Call 01275 372659.
