Cartmel Primary Goes Wild

Cartmel Primary Goes Wild

We’re transforming our tired, grey playground into a wild, wonderful, and safe place to learn, play and grow. This is a massive project, but we’ve broken it down into phases, and we’ve already raised 81% (£130k) of what we need for Phase 1 (£161k)

In Phase 1, we’ll separate the car park from the playground, build a kitchen garden and polytunnel so children can grow their own veg and learn about sustainability from the soil up, and create flexible outdoor spaces where lessons, lunch, or just a good old chat can happen in the fresh air.

These new spaces will be open to the whole community, outside school hours. We’ve already got local groups like Cartmel Village Volunteers and Cartmel Village Society on board and generously supporting us. This is about connection - between people, between learning and nature, between the past and a better future.

Cartmel Primary has been at the heart of the village since 1859. We can help make sure it stays that way; for our children, for the village, and for generations still to come.

Alumni Project

The school has started an Alumni project so that local distinctiveness and heritage can be preserved. We have set up a Cartmel Primary Alumni Facebook page to reach as many ex-pupils, teachers and governors as possible. If you are one of these please do join this group and share your memories with us, see link below: -
