Garden Development
January 2009
School Governors tried to purchase two adjacent back gardens with the intention of creating a large garden which would be accessed from the school playground. Unfortunately this did not come to fruition.
April 2009
The school is now creating a small garden area in the corner of the playground(an area that has suffered from flooding in the past). The garden will include a decked area and flower beds, a small pond made from a bath, a shed and greenhouse and large wooden planters for growing vegetables. We are very grateful to the following for their donations to the garden:
The school has also raised its own funds through a sponsored hockey tournament organised by former pupil Ben Woolsey. Click here to see more about the hockey tournament.
