<strong>School</strong> Grounds...<br />
The school’s grounds are magnificent,<br />
and a literal breath of fresh air in these<br />
days of concrete and congestion. The PTA<br />
have played a major role in developing our green<br />
space, helping to resource a total of three adventure<br />
playgrounds, a huge number of trees, a sensory trail,<br />
a ‘spiral mound’ and artificial cricket wicket. Most<br />
spectacularly, the school has a unique Apple Sculpture<br />
where children can relax and chat.<br />
Whenever possible, children get onto the<br />
grass at playtime, thus promoting a healthy,<br />
active lifestyle.<br />
Some children may, occasionally, come home<br />
a little muddy!<br />
Conservation...<br />
Positive attitudes to conservation and the natural environment<br />
are highly valued in the school.<br />
We have a<br />
fenced conservation area<br />
with two ponds and a<br />
range of habitats. Our<br />
resident groundsperson,<br />
Mrs Kirby, works hard<br />
to maintain the fields<br />
and woodland areas in an<br />
organic manner.<br />
Future plans include a large poly tunnel and allotment space on the top<br />
field to promote horticultural skills amongst our children.
