It will contain a dedicated performance space, a new indoor and outdoor library where pupils and their families can come together, and a trim trail track. Plans also feature enhancements to the early years' playground, including:- a den-building area to inspire creativity and adventure.

Our serious training is ramping up now, and we're determined to get this done, and make the new Churchtown playground a reality." Jinnie Payne, Headteacher at Churchtown Primary School, said:- "For the last 9 months, Sergio and Alex's strength and dignity have been inspiring me, and I'm so proud to be running alongside Sergio in the London Marathon next month. The amount we have raised so far is phenomenal, but we still have a long way to go. We want to see the new playground as a lasting monument to the joy that Alice and Bebe brought to our school, as well as a living, breathing testament to their amazing personalities."
