The newly resurfaced area was opened by the contractor and children from the school in an official ceremony.
The car park and playground of the 46-pupil school was left in a poor condition due to significant weather damage, with potholes and uneven ground creating issues during heavy rainfall.
After the school reached out, the Hoddeston-based contractor offered to resurface the area as part of its social value commitment to the communities in which they work.

Tarmac also generously supplied the materials at a reduced cost.
Mrs Gamage, headteacher of Wareside C of E Primary School, said: "We are incredibly thankful to VolkerHighways who helped us transform our school car park and parts of our playground. The entrance to our school is now safe and a welcoming and attractive space. It's made such a difference to our school. All schools are constrained with budgets but as a small school we are even more so. It's due to the generosity of businesses such as VolkerHighways that we are able to undertake such works. As a school community we are privileged to have been able to benefit."
The work was carried out over two days at the beginning of January during Christmas holidays.
