THE Weston Grand Pier offered unlimited ride wristbands to hundreds of primary school pupils and their teachers.

The Pier team has very kindly gifted a typical British seaside favourite day out for 174 students from Evergreen Primary Academy in Bristol on Tuesday, July 16, giving all children and teachers free Unlimited Ride Wristbands and complimentary Mr Whippy ice creams.

Avram, 6, was just one of the many children who said: “This was the best day ever.”

Evergreen Primary Academy serves a diverse community where many children and families face various forms of deprivation.

This trip offered a brilliant opportunity for these students to enjoy the superb attraction.

The school, rated 'good' by Ofsted, is part of the Cabot Learning Federation (CLF), an ambitious educational partnership comprising 35 schools across the Southwest of England.

CLF's commitment to providing quality education and enriching experiences for all students, regardless of background, is evident in this special outing.

The Grand Pier, a beloved landmark since 1904, pulled out all the stops to ensure an unforgettable experience for the Evergreen pupils, after they were pulled out of the hat.

Headteacher Kerry Coote said: “We want to give a huge thank you to The Grand Pier and everyone involved in creating this incredible opportunity.

“We also want to thank all of the fundraisers who have been helping fundraise for the transport on the day.”
