Pupils from Carlton Junior and Infant School in Dewsbury began their school careers with a positive start this term after they received free school uniform pieces from five star Homebuilder, Barratt Developments Yorkshire West.
The leading Homebuilder, which regularly supports those living in the area close to its developments, offered to purchase uniforms for pupils, amid the increasing costs of living. The new uniform pieces were collected by parents and guardians anonymously, to help start their time at school in the best possible way.
The donation marks the beginning of a partnership between Barratt Developments Yorkshire West and Carlton Junior and Infant School, close to the Homebuilder’s Lockwood Fields development, which will see the pupils engage in fun and educational activities throughout the academic year.
Rizwana Ahmed, Head Teacher at Carlton Junior and Infant School said: “We’re so grateful to Barratt Developments Yorkshire West for reaching out to offer their support for our early years pupils. A lot of parents and guardians are experiencing the squeeze this year with the increased costs of living and our appreciation for the help is felt by all of us at Carlton Junior School.”
Ian Ruthven, Managing Director of Barratt Developments Yorkshire West commented: “We’re pleased we’ve been able to make a difference to the parents and guardians of the pupils at Carlton Junior Infant School. Starting school is a big moment for children and we’re glad that our donation has helped them begin the first step.”
