A Falmouth school is celebrating its 60th anniversary by launching a major fundraising drive to revamp its outdoor spaces.

Marlborough Primary has secured a grant to part-fund initiatives such as new and improved play areas, and a working toilet and running water for the school field.

However, the school must also raise funds independently, and invites parents, alumni, friends and the wider community to participate in special events.

These include a Summer Social on the school field on June 29, to include an archive tent of photographs, memorabilia and stories ; and a gala evening in a marquee at the Greenbank Hotel on Friday, July 4, featuring an Auction of Dreams hosted by Kernow King.
