The Lea Primary and Nursery School in Harpenden have always given a high priority to helping pupils with mental health issues and assisting those who need extra support. The School had an old shipping container in the school grounds that was once used for storage but now had no further use. They saw this as an opportunity to provide a new facility for the children and proceeded to completely refurbish the container making it able to be used as a Wellbeing Hub providing pupils from across the school a quiet and calm learning environment with lovely internal decorations.
The Community Fund of the Harpenden Trust was delighted to be able to support this project given their commitment to improve the mental health of all ages.
Cathryn Egan, PTA Chair, said “We are so grateful for the Harpenden Trust funding our new Wellbeing hub! It has created a fantastic indoor space for our students to be able to use in a variety of ways. It flows nicely onto the outdoor space and will greatly benefit the children and staff at the Lea Primary School.”
