Our South Midlands division, which had a development in Market Harborough and currently in Northampton, respectively Bowden Chase and Kingsland Park, officially presented the pupils of Great Bowden Academy with a donation which was used to create an outdoor reading garden.
The funds have helped to create a new, peaceful learning area for pupils to spend time in, complete with a sensory trail. The space, which was inspired by a pupil’s design, also enables the children to learn about a variety of plants, flowers and animals species.
Rebecca Blagburn, Head of School at Great Bowden Academy, said: “Our school has always championed reading, so it’s wonderful to be able to offer our pupils a comfortable and interactive space for them to read, while also stimulating their senses and broadening their knowledge of the natural world.
“The reading garden has given us additional outdoor space which has been incredably useful over the past few months. We’d like to say a big thank you to the Redrow team for their generous donation, as well as other local organisations who kindly supported us. We’re looking forward to welcoming children in the wider Bowden Chase community to use the garden space in the future.”
Suzanne Irons, sales director for the South Midlands, said: “Reading is a cornerstone of our education, but it also opens up a world of knowledge and imagination to children.
“The team at Great Bowden Academy presented us with an ambitious project: to build a reading garden designed by one of their pupils and create a peaceful space to read and learn. We are thrilled to be able to help them bring their vision to life.
“Here at Redrow South Midlands, we always strive to create thriving communities, and schools form a large part of this – we couldn’t be prouder to play a part in these children’s learning and the school’s future as a whole.”
Though Bowden Chase, in Market Harborough, is now sold out, those looking for homes featuring traditional charm and modern interiors can find their dream home at Kingsland Park, in Northampton. Located in the desirable area of Spinney Hill, and just a short drive away from Northampton and the M1, the new development is ideal for first-time buyers and growing families alike.
