New storytelling
The project started last Autumn when the School Association raised funds for the school's outdoor area. A leading designer, Alun Heslop from Chair Creative was appointed to design and build a magical storytelling chair.
Alun ran workshops at the school where children could make designs and work with wood; the children also visited Alun's workshop and saw the chair being made.

Helen Schofield, Chair of Governors and Sue Sharpe from the School Association joined Jack Comber the youngest pupil at West Hoathly School for the ribbon-cutting.
