• Pollinator Garden

  Wed 17 May 2023 CH

  Last year we were delighted to have been successful in our application for a Rural Community Pollinator Grant. This allowed us to create a garden at the front of school, which will attract wildlife and make a beautiful display. The plants chosen are heavily scented and colourful along with some herbs and vegetables. Our pupils have been very busy getting the planters and beds ready and have had a great time planting.

  They have been taught anumber of life skills, such as how to identify a weed, planting and how to use a brush!
