Some 174 students and teachers from Evergreen Primary Academy in Bristol experienced a day of joy and excitement at the iconic Grand Pier in Weston-super-Mare.
The Grand Pier generously provided all children and teachers with free unlimited ride wristbands and complimentary Mr Whippy ice creams, ensuring a day filled with laughter and thrills.
Avram, 6, was just one of the many children who said: “This was the best day ever!”
Evergreen Primary Academy, located in one of the most deprived areas of the country, serves a diverse community where many children and families face various forms of deprivation.
This trip offered a brilliant opportunity for these students to enjoy the superb attraction.
The school, rated 'good' by Ofsted, is part of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF), an ambitious educational partnership comprising 35 schools across the Southwest of England. CLF's commitment to providing quality education and enriching experiences for all students, regardless of background, was evident in this special outing.
The Grand Pier, a beloved landmark since 1904, pulled out all the stops to ensure an unforgettable experience for the Evergreen pupils, after they were pulled out of the hat. From thrilling rides to the sweet treat of ice cream, the children were immersed in the magic of this seaside wonderland.
This event not only provided a day of fun but also served as a powerful reminder of the positive impact that businesses and educational institutions can have when they collaborate to support communities in need.
The smiles on the children's faces told a story of joy, wonder, and the creation of lasting memories on one of the world's best seaside piers.
Headteacher Kerry Coote said: “Avram verbalised what so many of the children were thinking and saying – this was the best day ever!
“We want to give a huge thank you to the Grand Pier and everyone involved in creating this incredible opportunity
“We also want to thank all of the fundraisers who have been helping fundraise for the transport on the day.”
