William Bellamy Primary School has been awarded £10,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund.
The Dagenham school will use the money to redevelop its playground, which will include permanent court markings, skills areas and a large dart board.
Parents will also be able to watch their kids take part in sporting events from the newly installed seats around the new playground.
In making the decision, directors of the Community Fund were impressed by the school’s provision of low cost football training on Sundays for kids who don’t play for a team.
