The removal of our demountable classrooms now means that we are able to develop the area into a beautiful green space for our students to enjoy.
They'll get the chance to grow fruit and vegetables, improve biodiversity in the school, and soak up the great outdoors.
Opening up these opportunities and experiences to students will, in turn, provide them with life skills for sustainable living in the future.
What is needed?
- Poly tunnels
- Raised beds
- Sensory gardens around the school
- Plastic bottle greenhouses
- Compost bins – food peelings from kitchen, grass cutting from grounds maintenance
- Chickens – students raise these from hatching, learning husbandry skills, the school then sell the eggs to raise funds to make this aspect sustainable
- Grow vegetables enabling us to produce food boxes to sell and offer a quantity for food bank support
- Meadow grass area that will be an area for pollinators and to support science lessons
- Weather stations that can be used for curriculum lessons
- Bird / bat boxes to develop habitats on the school grounds and install cameras where possible
- Gardening clubs for students and staff to develop skills
- Quiet seating areas around the school
Fundraising target: £20,000
