Foxton Primary School’s New Water Play Area
Foxton Primary School is delighted to announce the opening of its brand-new water play and loose parts area. This is a dynamic addition to its already stunning outdoor grounds, designed to inspire creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning. This innovative playscape, part-funded by the East Midlands Railway Community Fund, promises to transform playtime into an enriching educational experience. The newly constructed area incorporates a water pump, channels, and loose parts. It reflects the historical and geographical significance of the nearby Foxton Locks and canal system. Through this interactive environment, children will engage in imaginative play. Meanwhile they will learn about water flow and the rich history of their local community.
“We’re incredibly excited to introduce this water play area to our students,” said Mr Norman, Headteacher at Foxton. “It’s not just about having fun—although there’s plenty of fun to be had—it’s about fostering a deep connection to our local heritage and encouraging teamwork, problem-solving, and creativity. This development is part of our broader commitment to promot active, outdoor play, supporting the well-being and holistic development of every child.”
The new facility underscores the school’s dedication to creating inclusive, stimulating environments that nurture lifelong learning and social skills. Parents and prospective families are encouraged to visit Foxton to witness the exciting possibilities this new space offers.
