A 'STAY and play' scheme is being staged at a Keighley school during the summer holidays.

The venture is open to children with special needs, and their families, from across the district.

Sessions will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays, between 10am and 2pm, beginning next week and running until August 22.

Activities at the project – at Beckfoot Phoenix Primary Special School, in Braithwaite Avenue – will include sports and games.

Food will be available, or people can take their own.

For more details – including admission charges – and to book a place, contact the school on 07446 335106 or e-mail play@phoenixschool.org.uk or friends@phoenixschool.org.uk.

The school held a summer fair on Friday (July 19), which raised over £700 towards outdoor play provision.

And an afternoon tea party for leavers took place yesterday (July 24). The event, attended by parents, included a presentation.
