The chairwoman of the Friends of Eatock Primary School, Ms Natalie Pevitt has commented on this generous donation made by the National Lottery and said:

“We are going to build a living, breathing outdoor stage that can be used by the whole community. It is a space where the community can come together on different occasions, from a choir performance to a brass band performance, and it can be used by a wide variety of groups throughout the year.”

The Headteacher of Eatock Primary School, Ann Flannery has also commented on the schools new stage and said:

“The stage will be used to further improve children’s listening and speaking skills through the arts. It will be available to different groups and will strengthen our links with the area. “The stage is covered so can be used in all weathers and we are hoping, in the future, to be able to get funding for a covered seating area too.”
