A Glasgow school has been given a fresh look with new furniture and technology.

Anderston Primary School was provided with the items by the Skypark business community in collaboration with companies including Capita, Spire Global, and Motorola Solutions.

The donations aimed to create more inviting spaces for staff and students at the school.

Allan Lynn, headteacher at Anderston Primary School, said: "Thanks to Skypark, Capita, the facilities team and other companies that have supported our venture to improve the learning environment at Anderston Primary, our school now has a fresh new look and offers a more welcoming learning environment for our learners.

"Our children are very passionate about sustainability and were keen to reuse and recycle as many items as possible.

"This has been especially appreciated in the current climate of tightened budgets in all sectors."

The large-scale donation included furniture like sofa chairs, coffee tables, and cabinets, as well as 30 iPads for classroom use.

Additional equipment such as test tubes, microscopes, and various supplies were donated for the future STEM room.

Paint and painting materials were also contributed to add a fresh touch to the school.

Alba, a primary four pupil, said: "Skypark have given us lots of stuff that is really useful. Mr Lynn’s office is really nice and neat because of the new tables and chairs.

"I really like the head teacher’s new office chair – it looks really comfortable.

"The new cabinets outside my class are pretty and help us to be really organised with our textile supplies for learning labs.

"Our school is cool, thanks to these donations.”

Angela Higgins of Resonance Capital, strategic lettings advisor at Skypark, said: “We have a policy of nothing going into landfill and items of equipment and furniture that can be repurposed or upcycled are redistributed.”

Corinne Ripoche, chief executive officer of Capita Experience, said: “As a business, we believe in giving back to the communities where we operate.

"Donating our furniture and equipment to Anderston Primary School’s refresh allows us to contribute to a more sustainable future.

"It's not just about repurposing resources - it's about investing in the next generation and helping create an environment where school pupils can thrive."
