An outdoor area at Ysgol Sychdyn in Mold, has been revamped thanks to 10 graduate trainees from Redrow.

The group improved the school's outdoor space to boost the learning experience of the children and to provide a safe area for individual child development.

Their co-ordinated efforts included refurbishing seating areas and fences, creating a pathway, and even building a chicken coop and a sandpit.

Any unwanted debris was cleared out to make room for a mud kitchen and extra seating areas.

Donated materials were used for these renovations.

These items were provided by Redrow's suppliers and its contractors.

Redrow graduate trainee, Zarah Durowoju said: "The community project was an incredible experience for all of us.

"After 13 weeks of preparation and four days of physical work, the project was a great success!

"The skills and knowledge we have developed over the last 19 months in the graduate programme, along with the great relationships built within our group, came in very useful.

"On the final day, the children sang for us at a special assembly.

"This was a highlight for all of us and made the experience even more rewarding."

Mr Hamilton, head teacher at Ysgol Sychdyn said: "The week of help from Redrow was simply brilliant.

"As a school, we simply would not have had the finance, materials or time to do all the work that the Redrow volunteers did for us.

"Children only have one opportunity at school, and they deserve the best; not only the best teaching and learning experiences and wellbeing and nurturing support, but also a learning environment that excites and engages them, and that is what Redrow have helped us work towards.

"It was great to have Redrow with us for a week and we would welcome them back again in the future without reservation.

"Diolch to all involved, you all helped make a difference to the children and staff of Ysgol Sychdyn."

Holly Jones, an employee engagement advisor at Redrow, also added: "The graduates have worked very hard on this project and have each created a portfolio of all work undertaken.

“They’ve utilised skills in problem-solving, procurement and negotiation, all of which are key elements to their graduate training programme.

"Thank you to Mr Hamilton and everyone at Ysgol Sychdyn."

Companies that helped with the project include Lex Autoloease, Landstruction, and Smalley Decorators.

Practical help and support were provided by Redrow’s customer service technicians Darran Cunliffe and Keith Danson throughout the course of the project.

Site manager Cait Grady also lent a helping hand, by providing adhesive, timber and other equipment.
