THE head of a borough primary school has asked for support from the local community as it develops an innovative 'Thrive Hive' to improve opportunities available to its pupils and their families.

Dan George is the head of school at the Gateway Learning Community's Lansdowne Primary Academy in Tilbury.

The school will create the 'Thrive Hive' on its premises and it is set to become a vital resource for its most vulnerable pupils and families, addressing critical needs related to poverty, housing, and health.

Mr George says: "Your commitment helps us move closer to creating this welcoming space that will empower parents and carers to lead fulfilling lives and better support their children's education.

Here is a video further explaining the mission:

"Every amount, no matter how small, makes a significant difference and directly helps us achieve our mission. Your generosity will help us provide essential services, educational opportunities, and a safe, warm space for families who desperately need it.

"We also continue to welcome contributions in other forms, such as workforce support with labour or donations of materials, as outlined in our previous communication."

If you are able to make a contribution in any form, or if you have any questions, contact Kathryn Luckin, the Support Service Manager, at: [email protected].

Mr George concluded: "On behalf of the children and families at Lansdowne Primary Academy, thank you once again for your time, consideration, and invaluable support."
