Between now and the end of June is our final sprint to fund a playground upgrade that we hope will last the next 20+ years.

Will you support us?

Dear parents, carers, friends, family and neighbours of Parsons Green Primary School,

Since 2024 the Parent Council and the teachers and staff at Parsons Green Primary School have been bringing together our school community of families, individuals and businesses to fund a major upgrade to our playground and broader grounds that our children use every day.

With the support of the school, we have consulted broadly with pupils, parents and the community to design this project and set our goals, outlined here: Parsons Green Playground Upgrade Levels

The direct school community has already contributed £12,000, and we have additionally ear-marked nearly £3k grant funding toward the project. We also secured pro bono consultancy to ensure our project brings benefits for wildlife, is climate resilient, and helps our pupils establish a strong relationship with nature.

Parents have also volunteered their time to engage with approved suppliers to get direct quotes, and also with the City of Edinburgh Council to make sure we’re in their plans for installation during the immediately coming school year, 2026-27.

We’re now in the final sprint. Between now and the end of June is our final chance to boost our funds to unlock a transformation to our grounds and play equipment that we intend to last for the next 20+ years.

I’m writing now to ask: will you support us?
