Donation will buy cycle racks for Queen Emma Primary School in Cambridge

New scooter and cycle racks will be installed at a Cambridge primary school after a financial donation from a business.

A total of £858 has been donated to Queen Emma Primary School as part of Cala Homes NHC’s community pledge for its upcoming Netherhall Gardens development.

The homebuilder also visited the primary to deliver its Stay Safe, Stay Away course – an interactive learning session for children to educate them on the industry and the dangers of playing in and around construction sites – to children from reception and Year 1.

Contracts manager Anthony Koop and site manager Alex Sgardea from Cala Homes NHC attended.

Anthony said: “It was a fantastic session, and the children were incredibly enthusiastic and engaged with Stay Safe, Stay Away – we hope they take lots away from the session.”

Sarah Jarman, executive headteacher, said: “This experience was incredibly valuable, providing our students with essential safety knowledge in a memorable and enjoyable way.”
