RESOURCEFUL students at a Rugby secondary school are set to transform an unused courtyard after they secured funding for the project.
Rugby High School has received £1,000 from Persimmon Homes as part of its’ Community Champions initiative.
The school’s Senior Student Leadership Team applied for the funding to revamp the school courtyard into a space where students could better interact with each other.
Assistant Head Teacher and Head of Sixth Form Olga Dermott-Bond said: “The students had the vision for the courtyard and have taken it upon themselves to write to all local businesses to seek financial support.
“We were delighted Persimmon Homes came forward and offered us this generous donation.
“We are starting to see the students’ vision come to life and are extremely grateful to all those who have offered us support.”
Beth Lodge, Senior Sales Manager at Persimmon Homes Central, said: “We seek to contribute to local charitable causes where we are building homes and creating lasting legacies within communities.”
