Pupils at Moorpark Junior School in Park Road, Burslem, brightened up the entrance to the school with a colourful, 30-metre long, Lowry-style mural. In the summer of 2006, the school benefitted from a £43,000 makeover courtesy of RENEW North Staffordshire. The money was spent on the mural, refurbishment of the school’s ornate railings, installation of a large, bespoke set of entrance gates depicting local images of the local area and a completely redesigned playground – providing a ball games area, a low climbing wall with footholds and handholds, a shaded seating area and new play equipment.
