PIRATE ships and wigwams are making playtime more enjoyable for primary school children following a £36,000 playground revamp.
A garden with wooden seats and a willow tunnel have also added to the fun at Wolsingham Primary School.
The play area has mostly been the result of months of fundraising by the school's Parents and Teachers Association (PTA).
A grant was secured from the Seed Challenge Fund and the remainder was raised with a range of events, including auctions and wine tasting evenings.
Headteacher Sam Underwood said: "You go out at playtime and you see groups of children all over the place, some are playing games, others are standing and some are sitting down and having a conversation. It is lovely to see."
Work is continuing with more seats and fencing to be installed. It is hoped that funding allowing, the playground will be able to be enjoyed by the community on weekends and holidays.
