A PEMBROKESHIRE primary school has a colourful new entrance thanks to a group of pupils and their mums.

Pennar Community School has been brightened up with some new mosaics and ceramics at its front entrance and in its reception.

The artwork is the work of a group of parents, who took part in two Springboard courses at the school during the recent Autumn term.

Students gathered at the school last week to receive recognition of their artistic endeavours from Headteacher Damon McGarvie.

Springboard is a Learning Pembrokeshire - Pembrokeshire County Council’s adult learning service - project, which runs a wide range of fun, free and exciting courses for adults and families in target areas in the county.

Within just one term of launching at Pennar School, the project has attracted more than 50 parents and their children to free learning activities.

Magic Mosaics and Snazzy Ceramics were led by tutors Ben Lloyd and Mena Williams.

Springboard advisor for Pennar Amanda Hart said the courses had created a great deal of interest.

“Parents have said how much their children’s confidence has grown, while the children themselves are keen for their parents to take part in courses,” she said.

Springboard co-ordinator Laura Phillips said the artwork had been highly praised by the school’s headteacher and staff, who were appreciative of the way parents and children had given visitors an even warmer welcome to the school.

She added that Springboard were also grateful to the support of Norman Industries.
