Playtime at Tindal Primary School thanks to Protocol Education

PRIMARY school pupils in Birmingham had a real treat in store for them when their supply teacher agency Protocol Education, donated over £100 worth of playground equipment.

Tindal Primary School in Birmingham had mentioned to their supply teacher agency that they had a shortage of playground equipment and Protocol were quick to offer a helping hand when they learned that the children were missing out on basic equipment such as bats, balls, bean bags and skipping ropes.

Jill Huntington, Assistant Head Teacher at Tindal Primary, said: "Exploring and playing outdoors is one of the joys of being a child, and it is great to be able to offer our pupils a selection of outdoor equipment to keep them busy at play time. We are extremely grateful to Protocol for donating the generous selection of equipment; the children are overwhelmed."

Tindal Primary uses Protocol as one of its main suppliers of temporary staff. For Protocol's outstanding commitment to the local community, the company won Best Temporary Recruitment Firm Award at the Recruiter Awards for Excellence 2007. The award was testament to Protocols national donation programme, Need a Helping Hand?
