BWCF originally granted Duns Primary School £2,768.00 to help fund a residential trip for P7s however due to Covid-19 this trip was cancelled. A request was made to change the use of the funds which was duly granted and all funds were used to purchase rain gear.
Every class (Nursery to P7) has benefitted from the waterproofs this year. Even more so due to the fact that PE had to be outside due to restrictions. Moving forward, there will be a need to replace and replenish due to our growing school roll. We are also committed to using more of the Duns community environment and the waterproofs not only allow us to access in all weathers, there is now equity of provision so that families do not feel financial pressure when trying to kit out their children. We are hugely grateful for the funding and the positive impact of the waterproofs has been staggering in terms of opening up opportunities.
Here are some photos of our P1s enjoying the local woods in their waterproofs.
