Gardening With Grown-Ups Morning
Updated 21st October
We have held another successful parental engagement event in school with a theme of giving our allotment area some much needed gardening attention. With the help of our fantastically supportive parents and carers we got to work on a range of jobs in the allotment, such as turning over soil, weeding, planting, weaving and cutting back over-grown shrubs. It was a lovely morning topped off by our amazing Sixth Form staff and students helping to provide some much-appreciated refreshments. We look forward to seeing you at one of our next events.
