🌳👨‍👩‍👦‍👦Eco-Garden Open to Community 🌻🌏- After our successful Easter period opening we will continue to open the Eco-Garden at weekends and possibly in the evenings going forward. Our pupils will be excited to see some of our plants 🪴 have started to grow in our Greenhouses. We hope everyone enjoyed making use of the fantastic area! Please feel welcome to call in and play or enjoy the surroundings on a bench! 

Hopefully, we will be able to plan even more activities & events as things improve for our pupils and our school community. See you all Monday!
